We would like to thank you, Alanna, Joey for your support and help during Andrew’s first year of employment. He benefits and enjoys the work. He keeps telling us how great was the shift and how he likes to be at work. You helped him not only with developing skills but with confidence, sense of belonging and we are extremely thankful for your help!!!

I like living at Reena because my apartment here allows me to be independent. I also feel safe and supported by staff and individuals at my building. It’s a great place to live.

I am a parent. It’s my heartfelt thanks to all of you who contribute to this wonderful program. It is such a blessing to our family to be able to join. I am short of words to describe how grateful it is to know you guys. It means a lot to our family. thanks all. I am so happy of the email I received. I got the job since I contacted you, you helped me with my resume and scheduling my interview. I wish one day I can see you face to face with my small gift. Thank you again and have a fantastic day.

…Reena has been an amazing source of respite to our family. After a few years of COVID and our struggles to care for our 20-year-old son with complex disabilities, we were really drained with such a burden…

…Almost cried when an individual who is painfully shy got up and danced with me with such a smile on his face – he barely looked up for months that I had worked with him but I played his favourite song and this was such a special moment.
