Description
Extend-A-Family Waterloo Region is piloting an exciting new option to provide companionship and personal support for adults living with a disability, at a comfortable home-away-from-home – a mini-vacation for both of you!
Catch a show, explore the nearby walking trails, binge a series you both love – Respite is all about relaxing, getting to know each other, and having fun together. Everyone sparkles in their own way, and we want you to help someone shine.
Opportunities are flexible, but tend to range from single weekends to 7 days based on the individual needs and interests of the person staying with you. All positions require a commitment to overnight stays.
Matches are arranged based on schedule, personal compatibility, and the needs of the individual supported. Meet someone new today – and by your second stay, you’ll be catching up with an old friend.
