Caregiving is how we show love, and it’s what gives us strength during our hardest times. So often it happens quietly behind closed doors, but with the Carefor Caregivers’ Garden we want to bring it out in the open and celebrate its beauty for all to see.
Caregiving takes many forms: parent to child, child to parent, spouses, siblings, friends and professional agencies… But at its core is something common: a desire to make someone else’s life better in whatever way one can.
Caregivers have helped build Ottawa. We think its time they deserved a place where we can thank them, publicly and privately.
Donations will help Carefor staff provide care to clients and support to caregivers.
