“Within a nanosecond of learning about my mother's death, I thought, ‘What will happen to my brother Peter?’”

Peter Zichy’s mother and siblings knew they had to create a plan for Peter but unfortunately they didn’t get the chance. When Peter’s mother passed away suddenly, his sisters and brother were worried.

Thankfully Peter knew where he belonged and who he needed for support.

When difficult situations arise, we often think the solution is to hire professionally trained supports but Peter, his family and supporters demonstrate that a caring community can achieve a lot on their own.

A caring waitress, a sensitive cashier and a thoughtful neighbour may be all the support someone needs to live in a home they love and a community that cherishes them.
