Mid Summer Update

Hi, Everyone!



It's been a while since my last post... and since my last post many things have taken place.  Hope your Summer great.  Here's a little update on our lives.


REMY WELCOMES his BABY BROTHER!

REMY HAS BEEN ATTENDING DAY CAMP AT NOVA's ARK



Since the beginning of July, Remy has been going to Nova's Ark once a week, and we've seen great benefits already!  On Remy's first day, his dad reported that Remy took the volunteer's hand and went off to play right away... when Alex went back to pick up Remy 6 hours later, the volunteers looked exhausted, but Remy was still running and jumping about :)  Alex reports that Remy seems to feel very much at home being with the young volunteers.  We're glad that he's out doing other things, being with other people while we get some relief at home.


Thank you so much to our friends and family who have contributed to this form of recreation for Remy (and respite for us).  Your generosity is always always always very appreciated and remembered!

NEW WEBSITE, FACEBOOK PAGE, YOUTUBE CHANNEL, TWITTER

Alex has been busy revamping Remy's Recovery program.  Despite the challenges of taking care of Remy full time (he's taken over as I've been dedicated to nursing and growing the baby), he's managed to create a new website and online social media pages.  


LOOKING FOR iPAD

In the search for anything that would augment the communication Remy has with us, we've been researching the benefits of using and iPad with a communication app for persons with communicative disorders.  So far the cheapest we've seen is $399 on sale at FutureShop and $30 for a case that will protect it.  If you know how we could get an iPad for free or very discounted, please let us know!  We'd rather have the iPad sooner rather than later to see how it could enhance the communication between us.

YARD SALE FUNDRAISER SEPTEMBER 1!

We're planning to host a yard sale to help us fund raise for the down payment ($2000 USD) for the Son-Rise Program® Intensive.  We are asking neighbours, friends and family who can to donate items we can sell for $50 or more for this event.  As well, we plan to have a bake sale at the same time.  This is your opportunity to free up space in your home for a really great cause!  As well, the items can be promotional for your business to get more attention.  Come support us by donating, volunteering and by spreading the word about our event.Thank you All!  Enjoy your Summer days.  Rainy Hugs and Sunshine Kisses,
