For Ms. Moquin, a loyal donor to Little Brothers, giving is above all a way to restore warmth, dignity, and presence to the elderly.
“It’s not age that weighs most heavily,” she says, “but the feeling of exclusion, loneliness, and sometimes even uselessness.” These words resonate deeply because they reflect the reality of thousands of seniors living in isolation.
A commitment inspired by intergenerational solidarity
From her very first donation, Ms. Moquin was driven by a simple but powerful conviction: every senior deserves to grow old surrounded by others.
For her, supporting the mission of Little Brothers is a gesture of gratitude toward those who built the society we live in today.
“Even a modest donation has a tangible impact: it can translate into a shared meal, a friendly visit, a party, or an outing that brings a smile to someone’s face.”
Monthly donations: a vital source of support
Over time, Ms. Moquin decided to become a monthly donor. Why? Because this type of support gives Little Brothers the stability and flexibility it needs to respond where the need is most urgent.
“Without these regular donations, it would be impossible to provide direct services to seniors. Monthly donations are truly vital support.”
Breaking isolation, a collective challenge
For Ms. Moquin, the greatest challenge facing seniors remains isolation. Poverty and health problems often add to this feeling of loneliness, but it is the lack of human connection that weighs most heavily.
And this is precisely where the presence of Little Brothers makes all the difference: offering human warmth, dignity, a voice, and recognition to seniors who are too often forgotten.
A call for solidarity
Ms. Moquin has a message for the entire community:
“Supporting seniors is not only an act of solidarity, but also a source of well-being. Giving, being generous, showing compassion, and caring for others really makes you feel good.”
By supporting Little Brothers, you are helping to sow dignity, kindness, and hope. And, as Ms. Moquin reminds us, one day we may be grateful to find this solidarity ourselves.
