Going through the process of losing your license after a lifetime of driving is a very difficult transition for a person with dementia. Driving represents independence, mobility and freedom.
This can also lead to the person with dementia feeling "trapped at home", isolated and lonely.
Your gift of $120 towards transportation costs allows someone to access a taxi from one area of the Niagara region to another approximately 4 times and gives them a sense of the freedom they once had.
