“My dad passed away last January after battling brain cancer for more than a year. My mom took care of him day and night without rest. I could see my mom was struggling. She did not even have time to go for groceries or her own doctor’s appointment. Dad could not be left alone, and my sister and I could not miss a lot of work.

This is when I started to search for help and found the Airdrie and District Hospice Society. The Board president contacted me right away and arranged for volunteers to stay with dad for a few hours so mom could take a much-needed breather. The hours they helped us were blessings for our family. I know I will be forever grateful to the volunteers for the service they provided to us. The volunteers are caring and loving people that without knowing us gave us their time and love.”
