Over the past month our team had the chance to contribute food, gifts, clothing and more to a Calgary family. The family, whose 16 year old son is a full-time wheelchair user, recently received an accessible home renovation from Accessible Housing. Last week our elves delivered a carload of beautiful packages, presents and groceries. Happy Holidays!

This year, the RAD Renovations program has completed 65 renovations that allow individuals to stay in their homes & maintain their independence.
These renovations are life changing, as some clients are unable to even leave their home safely. Whether it's a ramp, porch lift or a barrier-free shower - all of these renovations are integral in removing barriers so individuals with limited mobility can thrive.
Help us continue to serve those in need by donating today: https://www.canadahelps.org/ÔÇŽ/accessibÔ ÇŽ/campaign/open-doors/
