What I want to hit on is the social aspect of the entire family. As I said earlier, Coffee Chat is a group of parents who get together and sit down and chat with each other. They understand that respite care is needed. There's nobody really out there. I come from a rural area, Manitoulin Island. There are no services over there, and it really gets tough for these people. As Carol has said, if my grandson had cancer, we'd take him to the hospital and they'd give him whatever care he could get.
The cost is just outrageous. Families are just struggling. I'm fortunate in that my daughter works, her husband works, and I have an income. We've been fortunate. I hear from other parents who just can't afford the price.
