After years of collaboration with Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists, and various ministries our Home Share Provider Diana finally secured the funding to provide a lift for Jennifer, the woman she has supported for many years. This lift allows Jennifer to stay safely in the home and stay part of the family she has come to know and love.
Here is a photo of Jennifer, along with her mom Joyce and Home Share Provider Diana proudly showing us the new elevator lift that has recently been installed.
On June 6th, Jaime took a roomful of people back in time; waaaaay back to when dinosaurs roamed the earth! With the support of her Community Inclusion worker, Sophia, Jaime took on the role of "paleontologist"
and spent months researching and compiling information on dinosaurs. I was lucky enough to be invited to her presentation and learned so much about
dinosaurs. For example, I learned that while some dinosaurs were carnivores
(meat-eaters) most were herbivores (plant eaters). I was fascinated to consider that dinosaurs walked on two feet and laid eggs, much like our modern day poultry! Jaime captured this- as the wonderful artist she is -through a painting (shown here).
What was truly amazing was how Jaime and Sophia transformed Jaime's living room into a "den of Dinosaurs" - we were surrounded! I made sure I sat FAR AWAY from the scary, meat-eating Tyrannosaurus Rex!
The highlight of the presentation for me was the "Dinosaur Song" with Jaime playing the guitar and singing with Sophia. All of us sang along and had fun "ROARING" on cue like the T-Rex! Afterwards, we were treated to delicious Dinosaur cupcakes and got to see "dinosaur eggs"
hatching. What a fantastic presentation! Can't wait to see what Jaime will research for next year!
