Today is International Volunteer Day and we share a story of how volunteering can change two lives. Patricia started volunteering with Carefor's Friendly Visiting program three years ago and from it a friendship with Therese has been created showing the impact of volunteering on everyone involved.

We are so fortunate to have so many volunteers who donate their time and kindness to help people in their communities. To learn more about being a volunteer visit https://f.mtr.cool/lqfawdvkal

Today is National Housing Day and is a time to reflect on how housing is part of healthcare. In this blog, Carefor President and CEO, Steve Perry, writes about how for seniors who are struggling with complex healthcare issues and the increasing cost of living, safe and supportive housing is more than just having a place to sleep. What's more, supportive housing for seniors reduces the burden felt by other areas of our healthcare system.

As Carefor Civic Complex resident, Melanie Freeman, walks to raise money for Civic Complex and Mackay Centre, Steve shares how her story could have been very different without proper supportive housing.

When Danny Sinagra lost his wife Maria, his world stopped. With the help of Family & Patient Support Counsellor Shannon Ball at Carefor's Hospice in Cornwall, he was able to start his life again. Through one on one counselling sessions and then becoming an active member of Hospice's Grief and Bereavement Support Group, Danny found ways to keep living while holding the memory of his beloved Maria in his heart.

Today is National Grief and Bereavement Day and is a day to reflect on loss and how we move through it by ourselves and with others at our side.

Read Danny's story about dealing with his grief with help from Shannon and a newfound community.
