Two weeks ago, Gilles Gosselin was watching Global News from his home near Quebec City when he was struck emotionally by the story of Deborah Bridgman. She’s a 57-year-old cancer patient who is desperate for a COVID-19 vaccine.

“My reaction was I thought it was unfair for her because I think she should have priority since she is ill,” the 70-year-old Gosselin said.

Bridgman suffers from advanced breast cancer. She wants the Quebec government to move cancer patients aged 16 to 59 higher on the vaccine priority list. Currently they rank number eight out of 10 categories, after people 60 and over get vaccinated.

Gosselin is 70 and in good health. His vaccine appointment is in early April. He’s never met Bridgman, but he wants to help her.

He contacted Global News, offering up his vaccine appointment to her.
