E3 Community Services hasn't added a story.
At E3 Community Services, we believe that all parents and guardians should have access to affordable respite care, because taking time to care for yourself allows you to better care for your loved ones.
Our respite care provides planned, out-of-home respite to families who have children or youth with developmental and physical disabilities and multiple special needs. This program provides parents with the chance for some rest and relaxation, while the children and youth have fun taking part in community events and activities. We provide trained staff who ensure the safety and care of the children and youth, activities that are fun and appropriate, nutritious meals, a warm, comfortable environment and bedding and towels.
Your generous donations will help us furnish our newly renovated respite space in Collingwood to become a "home away from home". Our goal is to raise $25,000 to cover the cost of medical equipment and furniture for multiple bedrooms and the bright, spacious living area. Even a donation of just $5 a month can help fill our cupboards and provide nutritious meals for the people we support. Thanks to your donations and an anonymous donor who has generously promised to match the funds donated up to $5,000, we hope to provide a comfortable respite space for the community for years to come.
“Respite at E3 has made a huge difference in our lives. I am a single momma to an amazing, funny, complex 8-year-old girl, Ellie. She requires specialized supports for all of her medical and developmental needs. The staff at E3 deliver that. They have taken the time to train, and get to know my daughter so that when I leave her I know she is safe and happy.
Ellie loves being with the other kiddos on her respite weekend. Having respite means I get to relax, I get to be me - just me - for a whole weekend. When we get back together we both feel renewed and re-energized to take on whatever comes our way.
The new respite area at E3 will allow for more play areas, more sensory experiences, and more interaction with her peers. It is an investment in our families, knowing just how important that time apart is, so that you can reconnect with others and your child when you see that smiling face at pick up time.”
