PAC Testimonials

“We will always appreciate the kindness of [volunteer], who came to visit my dad a great deal and spent time reading the newspaper to him, talking to him, and helping keeping his loneliness at bay. He couldn’t verbalize it, but I know he appreciated those visits so much. … My family recently moved to [the neighbourhood], just a stone’s through from the Philip Aziz Centre, and we’ve been taking our toddler around there every day for walks/pigeon chasing/etc. Every time I look into Emily’s House, I think about what wonderful but heartbreaking work you do in the community.”

“Gratitude flows from me to all of you at the Philip Aziz Centre.  Honestly, your presence and support elevated my thoughts and actions to exalted states that will inspire me and my daughters eternally.”

“Finally a very special thanks to [volunteer] whose commitment to [client] from the first day she met her through her volunteerism with the Philip Aziz Centre was one of [client]’s greatest sources of gratitude. [Volunteer] became [client]’s friend, confidant, support at medical appointments, companion on outings and a true light of consistent compassion, positive energy and blessing in [client]s life the past three years.”

“Thank you from my client!  We had the best time today, and he said he was so incredibly grateful that PAC was able to make that happen for him.  He was very emotional about it, saying it made his last birthday the best one!  So, thank you! I took a picture of him loving the tank!  He couldn’t look away!”

“Last week, he was in the ICU at SickKids hooked up to all these monitors and machines. I never thought that we would have the chance to go swimming for the first time! This gives me the confidence to go out on more outings from the House, like walks around the park with him and his brother, or maybe even go home in the future.”
