Ruth Goldbloom

National Immigration Museum At Pier 21 Dept: Goldbloom was known to many as a small woman with a big heart and is credited with almost single-handedly raising the millions needed to establish the National Immigration Museum at Pier 21 in Halifax, according to CTV. Pier 21 is particularly overwhelmed by the support since Goldbloom s death. Officials say the museum has been flooded with phone calls from people wanting to make donations to her memorial fund and during her long and inspiring life, Ruth Goldbloom was famous for raising money for good causes. A week has passed since Goldbloom lost her battle with cancer at the age of 88 but her fundraising efforts seem to be an enduring part of her legacy. Donations are flooding in to the causes Goldbloom loved, in her memory. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
