We all love to feel comfortable, but many seniors in long-term care need a little extra help to feel that way. The chronic illnesses they live with slowly rob them of their abilities and of many of the little comforts most of us take for granted: getting dressed in favourite clothes, visiting with friends, communicating with loved ones, or enjoying a nice bath.

By organizing a Jeans Day fundraiser with your team, office, or school, you can help restore quality of life to those in need. A simple $2 donation can help:

- Buy special adaptive clothing so that seniors with severe rheumatoid arthritis can dress themselves

- Fund physical therapy and mobility aids that allow seniors to regain freedom of movement

- Provide cognitive therapy for seniors with dementia, helping them to access parts of their brain not yet affected by the disease

- Purchase lift chairs that make it possible for seniors to safely get in and out of bathtubs

All you need to do is pick a day, choose your favourite jeans, and you'll make a life-changing difference for a local elder. Thank you!
