Donors like you Helped Mildred get her life back
Mildred Breault was 78 years young and
living life to the fullest. A retired high school principal with a passion for
adventure, she had once spent a year traveling solo across Africa. But a series
of unexpected falls during a trip to Mexico shook her confidence to the core.
"I hadn't fallen for years," Mildred recalls. But
in just a short couple of months, she fell four times. She was worried.
The falls made Mildred increasingly
cautious, and she began to question her abilities. "I had travelled a
lot, and I saw that slipping away. I didn't know what I was going to do with
myself."
Then, thanks to the generosity of donors
like you, Mildred found hope at Bruyère Health's John and Jennifer Ruddy Geriatric Day
Hospital.
This vital program, supported by donations, assists seniors at risk before more
serious issues develop.
Twice a week, Mildred attended the program,
working diligently on:
- Balance
exercises
- Strength
training
- Regaining
confidence in daily activities
Slowly but surely, Mildred's strength
improved, her balance became steadier, and most importantly, she regained her confidence.
"It has given me my life back," Mildred shares
with gratitude.
