A foster home
In our beautifully restored Victorian house located in Montreal, men and women afflicted with HIV/AIDS can stay for a few weeks or a few months. Some, who are terminally ill, seek companionship and support on a human scale; and peace to pass away with dignity in familiar surroundings.
Others need support:
After receiving a diagnosis
In periods when their health wavers
During medical tests or at the start of a new treatment regime
To regain mental and physical strength
To prepare for social re-integration
To increase capabilities for coping with and controlling their lives with HIV/AIDS
√ Short-term stays are also available to give personal caregivers a respite.
In this house there is a soul coloured by all those who have stayed here. A soul that is driven by every day gestures, by joy and laughter, by sadness, by discouragement, by hope… by life!
