We recently donated a computer and printer to a young mother of two who lost her hearing as a teenager and who is presently attending commercial college to upgrade her education to enable her to enter the workplace and become self-supporting.
We have provided a "LINK" augmentative communication device to a patient at Riverside who became permanently disabled and mute after a stoke. Unable to speak until he received this unit his world has been dramatically enhanced by this technology , which allows him to verbally communicate.
For years we have gathered items to be donated to a woman’s shelter in Winnipeg. Expanding on this project this year we are preparing a “shopping bag” of personal items that can be given to individual women as they enter the shelter and which they can take with them when they are ready to leave. Items such as hair brushes, combs, toothpaste and brush, personal cleansing items, washcloths, T-shirts for sleeping etc are being gathered for each bag.
Our main service projects have been to the Hearing and Speech Impaired and over the years we have donated many communicative devices and diagnostic equipment such as a “Real Ear” for the Pre-School Program for Manitoba with Disabilities, along with furnishing a special room and equipment for pre-school children; a sound system for a room at the Central Speech and Hearing Clinic at Victoria Hospital, a Crib-O-Gram to the neo-natal unit of St. Boniface Hospital, TTD's to the Deaf Centre on Pembina Highway, currently have provided a variety of assistive devices for the Rehab Centre for Children who deal with multi-handicapped children. |
