Ernest Brin was also keen to point out that the members of Femur "would sincerely like the public and our local businesses to realize how important it is to support us financially. to date, all our donations, without exception, come from people outside the island, and unfortunately, these donations are seriously decreasing, whereas on this island, we have more than enough to meet our needs". Femur was founded in July 1983, and since then has regularly contributed to the purchase of medical equipment for both the hospital and the Maison de la Santé.
