Vibrant Testimonies
« I am 83 years old. I have been participating in Projet Par-Aîné since October 2008.
Meeting Ms. Francine, who I affectionately call “my angel,” has completely changed my life. I can say that I have a new zest for life.
“I sincerely hope that many other seniors may benefit from such support,” says Ms. Thérèse Pellerin. “I am a retired nurse and so I have a care giving relationship. This social commitment is for me a real source of fulfillment.” |
“When I met Ms. Pellerin, also a career nurse, we felt comfortable with each other right away. A bond of friendship and trust quickly developed between us. Ms. Pellerin reconciles me with the idea of aging and makes me realize the importance of living in the present,” concluded Ms. Francine Tardif, mentored by Ms. Pellerin. Projet Par-Aîné is a formal mentoring program geared towards autonomous seniors who live in solitude. It is a planned and structured pairing initiative aimed at preventing isolation in seniors.
