Pembroke Carefor resident walking to raise funds for fellow seniors

A familiar face at Carefor Civic Complex in Pembroke is stepping up to support seniors living at two local retirement homes.

Carefor Health & Community Services has launched the Care for Seniors with Melanie campaign, inspired by Civic Complex resident Melanie Freeman , who has set herself the ambitious goal of walking every day between now and the end of 2025 to raise $12,000 in support of residents at Carefor Civic Complex and Mackay Centre.

Freeman moved to the Civic Complex three years ago after the death of her mother, finding both support and a renewed sense of connection among fellow residents and staff.

“I’m so grateful to the staff at Carefor that I want to do something to give back and to help my friends. I don’t know where I’d be without them,” said Freeman.
