The Dare to Dream program helps residents fulfill dreams that they might not be able to accomplish themselves due to illness or lack of financial support. Recently, the team at Trillium Care Community helped Cindy Whan fulfill one of her dreams – to visit her former home in Plevna, roughly two hours away from Trillium in Kingston, ON.
Cindy’s parents owned a tourist resort on a lake in Plevna with beautiful sandy beaches where eventually, she and each of her siblings were allotted property. She was thrilled to be able to raise her own two children on that Lake, surrounded by cousins, aunts and uncles, and dreamed about visiting again since moving into Trillium.
Cindy was very surprised and elated to learn that Sara Prest, Director of Resident Programs, and Carol-Anne Woodcock, Leisure Services Aide, arranged for her to visit for a couple of days.
“It was the best thing that has happened to me in a long time,” said Cindy. Thanks Trillium team for making Cindy’s dream come true.
