Charity organization works to improve the lives of young people with physical challenges
A Sudbury youth with severe hearing loss has a new puppy to play with thanks to the Shine Foundation of Canada.
It was last year that Connor suffered the loss of his family dog. It was described as a challenging time for the boy who was missing the companion he could confide in. Connor and his mom recently drove down to the kennel located just north of Kitchener to meet their new family member and celebrate Connor’s dream-come-true alongside Shine Foundation staff and supporters.
"The result of Shine Experiences like Connor’s often includes an increase in confidence, resilience, and a positive outlook that will fuel them through life’s challenges. Connor’s new companion will support his emotional development, mental health, and level of responsibility as he grows into adolescence," said the release.
