If you or someone in your family was recovering from an illness, struggling with a disability or dementia, dealing with a chronic or terminal illness, where would you turn? For more than 118 years, people have been turning to VON (Victorian Order of Nurses), Canada’s largest not-for-profit home and community care organization.

VON is known and trusted for in-home nursing care, and while that service is at the core of our organization, we also offer a vast range of personal support programs, community support and volunteer services, to help our clients manage in difficult times and to improve their quality of life.

I interviewed my dad on video in his final weeks. When I asked about his work and finding meaning through helping others, he responded, “I don’t think you can be focused on, ‘Oh gee, I want to make a difference.’ It has to be spontaneous. If it’s not…there’s some kind of egotistical thing going on. That’s a red flag. You hope you impact people on the deepest level you are capable of at the time. Sometimes you hit it, sometimes you don’t. You’re trying.
