The Mira on Young Street, Truro. Brendyn CreamerTRURO, N.S. — Christmas may typically be seen as the time for giving, but Robyn Carruthers and the folks she organizes with, through"We started doing Santa's for Seniors just during Christmas, so we would adopt seniors at Christmas," said Carruthers."We basically expanded outside the HRM area because there was a need."
"The Mira residents are like our family now, so every holiday we like to do something for them. There are 90 residents that we take care of." So far, the process has been going well, said Carruthers. Truro local Dawn Sherry has been volunteering with Santa's for Seniors, and has been the drop-off point for Easter baskets in the area,
Carruthers hopes, if they can fulfill their commitment to the Mira Nursing Home and establish a branch in Colchester, they could move on to other nursing homes, as well. "There's always these special touches, and people adopt for different reasons," Carruthers commented."It makes the seniors smile, just to have someone thinking of them."
