Before the pandemic, routines and programs offered at Luso provided participants with daily structure, stimulation and the ability to socialize with others. Recognizing the importance of social interaction, we knew we needed to continue to deliver programs but in a different way while our centres are temporarily closed.

Luso has moved forward rapidly to keep participants connected through regular communication and developed virtual curriculum to support individuals and families. This includes online programs, communicating with families, delivering a variety of supports (crafts, activity supplies, recipe kits, etc.) and keeping participants updated with weekly newsletters.

This #GivingTuesdayNow, we're asking for your help during these unprecedented times.

Your donation will fund Luso's continued online activities and allow us to diversify and expand programming and care.

COVID-19 has changed the way we live and interact with each other. This is especially true for our organization, participants and their families. As we continue to work through the implications of the virus, the well being and health of participants is our most important priority. Our participants and families come first and we are doing our best to ensure their needs continue to be met.

Since COVID-19 prevents face-to-face programming, our centres are temporarily closed. Regardless, the need to support adults living with disabilities remains and we are continuing to provide programs and services in new and innovative ways despite a lack of revenue from program fees or fundraising.

This #GivingTuesdayNow, we're asking for your help during these unprecedented times.

Luso is taking part in #GivingTuesdayNow, a global day of giving on May 5, 2020 as an emergency response to the unprecedented changes due to the pandemic.

Your #GivingTuesdayNow donation will fund Luso's continued online activities and allow us to diversify and expand programming and care, whether it's learning life skills, creative art or delivering support packages to Luso Families.

We understand that these are hard times for everyone. If you have the ability to give and wish to support our cause, click the following link to donate today: secure.e2rm.com/registrant/startup.aspx?eventid=333308 ... See MoreSee Less

Luso cares deeply about everyone's well-being and is committed to doing our part to reduce social isolation for our participants and their families. It is important to feel connected. Our goal is to stay in touch with our Luso community through regular conversations and suggestions that reduce boredom. We also encourage everyone to reach out to their own personal support network.

Our thoughts are with those directly affected by COVID-19 and the individuals working tirelessly to treat and support them. We also recognize and thank those doing their part to flatten the curve and reduce the spread of the virus.

Much work is being done across the globe to prevent the spread of COVID-19. We encourage everyone to do their part and listen to the advice of public health authorities to eliminate the spread of this pandemic.

Luso wishes our extended family of participants, families, staff, supporters and the community at large, good health and strength as we work through this together.

Stay well. Stay connected. ... See MoreSee Less
