A senior gentleman who has had a few operations would appreciate having a male volunteer advocate who could be at his side when he goes for very short walks. This man lives in a condo on Jacques Bizard Street in Pierrefonds with his wife who is blind.

A lovely senior woman living in Pierrefonds would benefit greatly from having a female volunteer advocate to accompany her for groceries, or to go out for a coffee on occasion. She has very little family support and so your help would be much appreciated.
