In August 2021, we were approached by Anne who requested $675 to cover the costs of holding services, and the scattering of her sister’s ashes at Mount Pleasant Cemetary. As an ODSP recipient, Anne’s income is limited, and her budget did not allow for her to give her sister a proper goodbye.
Anne’s sister was her primary caregiver, and was more like a mother to her. With out support, she was able to give her sister a proper and respectful goodbye, in a touching ceremony. It was astonishing to see the impact that such a small amount of money could make in someone’s life.
