Behind the Magic of Christmas: A Presence That Lasts All Year

Every year across Québec, our teams and volunteers come together to offer older adults a holiday season filled with warmth: shared meals, decorations, visits and thoughtfully prepared gifts.
But none of this is possible without you.

Mais rien de tout cela n’existe sans vous.

By giving today, you offer far more than a comforting moment during the Holidays — you ensure that an older person is surrounded, heard and supported all year long.

Because beyond Christmas, what truly changes a life is a presence that endures. Thanks to you, we can be there on Christmas Eve, the day after… and all 365 days that follow.

Your gift creates a presence that remains

When the tree lights fade, our teams and volunteers continue to stand beside the older adults we accompany. Visits, calls, smiles and attentive listening carry on, and the bonds keep growing.

This continuity is at the heart of our mission: accompanying people of advanced age until the end of their lives, breaking social isolation and creating meaningful human relationships.

What your gift makes possible

Behind every visit, every call, every celebration, there is your support. Some volunteers accompany their Great Friend for many years, sharing simple but essential moments: a coffee, an outing, a conversation.

“We settle in, catch up, and then take out a game… with a glass of soda and a few chips — Mrs. Marchand insists! It’s our ritual. Over time, it became much more than a visit: it became a friendship.”
— Sylvie, volunteer

“I love it so much that they don’t even know I can say no! They bring me peace of mind and make life easier. I often say they’re like two suns walking into my home.”
— Mrs. Marchand

A gift today, a year-long presence Your support creates a relationship that lasts well beyond the Holidays. By giving now, you offer an older adult visits, calls, shared meals, celebrated birthdays… and above all, a renewed sense of belonging and dignity
