Orange Bay Supports Westmeath Fundraiser
Orange Bay Company announced its official sponsorship of A Life Well Lived, a $35,000 fundraising campaign designed to enhance the quality of life for Westmeath Residential & Nursing Care Home residents.
A spokesperson said, “This 30-day campaign, from April through May 2025, focuses on more than upgrades. It centers joy, mobility, and human dignity, meeting fundamental needs with compassion and care. The funding will support mobility aids, outdoor gardening, community outings, music therapy, and essential bedding replacements for the elders who call Westmeath home.”
“As a company rooted in meaningful spaces and thoughtful legacy, this partnership makes perfect sense for us,” said Delight Morris, founder of Orange Bay Company. “Orange Bay has always believed that beauty, purpose, and care should extend into every part of our lives, including where we honor and support our elders. Westmeath has been doing the quiet, dignified work of care for decades. This campaign helps uplift that work.”
Westmeath also expressed sincere gratitude for the collaboration. “We are deeply appreciative of Orange Bay Company for sponsoring this resident wellness-focused fundraising campaign,” said Natalie Chaves, Chair of the Board at Westmeath. “What began as a humble request to Delight Morris to help clear out Westmeath’s attic led to the discovery of a cedar chest. It quickly became clear that this was something special, and from that moment, the campaign began to take shape. Often, Bermuda’s seniors are overlooked when it comes to giving, but how we treat them truly reflects who we are as a community.”
Sponsorship packages include:
Joy Through Music Package – $500

“All donors contributing $500 or more will be permanently recognized on a dedicated plaque at Westmeath. One hundred percent of the proceeds will go directly to Westmeath for quality-of-life enhancements, not general facility repairs.
“As part of the campaign, an exclusive antique Bermuda cedar chest on frame, circa 1700, will be sold via silent auction. This chest can be viewed at Orange Bay Company. Bids can be submitted by email to delight@orangebaycompany.com through May 15, 2025.”
“This exquisite antique Bermuda cedar chest is so very Bermudian with its onion feet, detailed dovetailing, and scalloped apron replicating the roll of our ocean,” said Andrea Casling, Bermuda’s renowned antique dealer. “It is a treasure, as are our fabulous elders.”
“By supporting this initiative, you make a direct impact:
- “By funding a garden bed, you give someone a reason to go outside again.
- “By sponsoring mobility tools, you return independence to someone recovering from a fall.
- “By contributing bedding, you replace something worn and clinical with something soft and personal.
“Join us in building joy, dignity, and comfort together. The campaign ends on May 15, 2025.”
