We need your contribution to make our financial campaign successful!

​Let's work together to succeed in the upcoming fundraising campaign that allows us to launch our program and thus to improve the quality of life of people living with a spinal cord injury.

​How can you do that?

- by spreading the word about us
- by distributing our pamphlet
- by becoming a volunteer
- by becoming an ambassador

by spreading the word about us

You can talk about us in your circles, in your workplaces and on your social networks to reach as many people as possible and to enable us to achieve our fundraising goals. We feel that this is necessary to be able to help those interested in following our program. You can use this link to share the information easily.

Voices of our volunteers

Mr Luc Côté, volunteer, organizational and IT support

‘‘I firmly believe that the human body can recover from certain injuries considered irreversible, including spinal cord injuries. Medical research brings us new hopes, but more precisely, what can I do to help the people who sustained a spinal cord injury? The FSWC program has proven results in this regard, and I want to participate in making it available as quickly as possible. My involvement as a member of the volunteer team will help advance this huge impact project.”

Mr Jacques Vermette, volunteer, translator and linguistic advisor

‘‘When Diane Roy, vice-president of the FSWC board contacted me to talk about a project concerning a new adapted training centre in Sherbrooke, I found the idea innovative and interesting. This type of project affected me particularly because of a family history in which I was very often in contact with the people in physical rehabilitation. In order to fulfil certain needs, Diane asked me if I wanted to get involved as a volunteer to translate the website, among other things. Because of my experience working in translation, all the ingredients were put together so that I could contribute to this beautiful project. Following an information meeting, I found that this centre could really help people who sustained a spinal cord injury go even further than what the public system was offering them. It didn’t take much more to convince me to join the team and get enthusiastically involved as a translator and language advisor. ”

by becoming an ambassador

To get to know our program and have more media coverage, we need people with some influence in their regions. The role of the ambassadors will be to use their networks to spread the information about our program and to make as many people as possible become interested in this program.
