Moments of Joy, Thanks to You

A heartfelt thank you to our generous donors. Your support this past holiday season meant so much to the individuals and families supported by New Directions.

In December, several programs were able to host holiday celebrations and share the spirit of the season. For some, this was their only holiday gathering. The rooms were filled with laughter as people danced, played games, and captured memories at the photo booth. These cherished moments brought joy and connection.

Kristin French, a resident at one of our group homes had a great time at the party. “The sense of community was my favourite part. I liked the photo booth and music and want to see the same again next year.”

Other programs offered holiday gift cards, giving individuals the freedom to choose something meaningful for themselves. Some used them to buy food and personal care items, while one individual was finally able to purchase a Lego set they had been wishing for but could not afford.

Your generosity offered dignity and choice, along with moments of happiness that will be remembered long after the season has passed. The people we support are deeply grateful, and so are we. Thank you for making these moments possible.
