It’s been 36 years since my daughter’s accident, and as you
know, we’re not getting any younger. I sincerely thank Jean

done for me and my daughter, Gianna. Thank you so much

       WEEKLY SUMMER RESPITE CARE
        Attended by 16 children | teens | adult

       Summer respite care stays start on Monday at 9:00 a.m. and end on
       Friday at 3:00 p.m., and include nights. During the five-day stay, various
       activities and outings are organized. Ideally, participants are in the same
       age group—children aged 5 to 12, teenagers aged 12 to 17 and adults aged
       18 or over—and each stay is for a specific age group. A different program
       was proposed for adults and youths during Summer 2016.

       SPECIALIZED WEEKEND RESPITE CARE
        Attended by 76 children | teens | adult

       To provide rest for parents and family caregivers during the weekend, the
       Foundation provides specialized respite care at the CMJC for many people
       with disabilities in two age groups: children and teenagers aged 5 to 17,
       and adults aged 18 or over. The maximum accommodation capacity is 15
       people, so each weekend is for a specific age group. More openings will be
       available when offered box beds have been installed.

       CYCLICAL SHORT-TERM STAYS
       FOR YOUNG PEOPLE WITH AUTISM
       DURING SCHOOL WEEK
        Attended in principle by 12 children and teenagers

       Every week during the school week, from Monday evening to Friday
       morning, the Foundation provides accommodation and support to four
       children and teenagers with autism. This service is for 12 young people,
       divided into three groups of four, who take turns to stay each week.

       THANK YOU TO THE FONDATION MARCELLE ET JEAN COUTU
       Thanks to a generous donation from the Fondation Marcelle et Jean Coutu, families with a child receiving specialized
       respite care at the CMJC have been given a gift certificate for a respite weekend in 2017. What’s more, costs for
       specialized respite care stays (for some families depending on various criteria) and adapted activities during the day
       have been reduced.

       A NEW SPECIALIZED HOUSING
       RESOURCE BY 2020
       At The Great Leaders’ Evening on February 23, 2017, the Foundation
       was proud to announce that the $70,000 raised during the evening
       would help finance its next project: a new specialized housing
       resource for people with disabilities by 2020.

       The Foundation would like to thank its two main sponsors, the
       Jean Coutu Group (PJC) Inc. and Nivel Inc., as well as all the other
       sponsors of its charity dinner show at the Montreal Casino Cabaret
       with Gregory Charles. The Foundation would also like to thank the
       Morris & Rosalind Goodman Family Foundation for its generous
       donation.

       WE ALL HAVE OUR CHALLENGES
       Under the theme “We all have our challenges,” the event was an
       ideal opportunity to pay tribute to Jonathan Turcotte-Le Breton.
       This young man with a physical disability, who faces challenges every
       day, is going for it and making his dreams come true. Thanks to a
       generous donor, Jonathan will be making another parachute jump in
       summer 2017—with the donor!
