We Miss You!

Thanks to Covid19, we are all missing our routines and really missing our peeps. Some individuals we serve have gone to stay with family, separated from their WIN family, others are with their WIN fam and missing their other family members. It does our hearts good to see everyone making the best of the hand we’re dealt. Please send your images to karenw@win-ab.org

Being shut in is hard. Our staff Hayley wanted to brighten spirits and she did not disappoint! Adorable!
These are some of the most heartwarming and heartbreaking images. What a sacrifice it is to have to visit from a distance or through a window, to not be able to give your loved ones a hug or take them home for a visit. Sometimes love really does hurt.

Finally! We’ve sure been missing this guy… Summer and Robert got out to see him at his parent’s place and they enjoyed a social distancing driveway visit. Great to see your smile Larry! Hope to see you again soon
  • Chillaxing in the hot tub
  • FaceTime with Sirena
Colin is keeping busy at home with his parents. He’s keeping fit as a fiddle and enjoying his relaxing hot tub time! It is wonderful to see you having fun at home Colin. Your staff and the office staff miss you so much. Glen can’t wait to help adjust your headphones for you again
  • Easter delivery from WIN friends
Good thing Alexis doesn’t have to practice social distancing with her mom and her brother! Being housebound is not Alexis favourite thing to do, but she’s keeping busy. Your staff are missing the heck out of you Lexi! Thank you for sharing and showing us how you are doing!
  • Fun at the farm
  • Chores can be fun too!
  • This baby is only one hour old!
  • Wow! Nice work Paisley!
Miss Paisley is keeping busy hanging out with her grandparents and doing chores on the farm. She took time off from farming to do some Easter crafts! So wonderful to see your happy face Paisley. Your staff miss you so much!
  • Looks yummy!
  • walking safely
  • Giving mom a break!
  • Emptying the dishwasher
Chris texted Raya and told her that he is spending time with his parents and helping his mom out. Looks like Chris and his parents have this isolating thing figured out. We sure miss you Chris! Thank you for sharing and staying connected. Looking forward to chatting with you again soon!

Having a FaceTime visit – heading out to do some grocery shopping – taking care to practice physical distancing

Jorden and Jarrett are making the best of self isolating in the wood shop! We were so impressed seeing your creations guys! We miss you and are so happy to get to see how you’re spending your time. Got some new pics of Jarrett making (and eating) tacos!
“A boy and his dog” Robert is looking very relaxed and happy spending time with his family and his dog. He is probably working on his art as well! Your smile is infectious and we miss it so much.

  • Wonderful donation!
Hey Justin! So cool to see you. It’s nice to see that you are keeping busy making masks with your mom. We appreciate the masks your mom provided for us. Feeling the love! Thank you so very much Claudette

Hanging at Home

Hanging out at home! Being separated from family is hard, but these individuals and their dedicated staff are finding creative ways to pass the time safely and stay connected with family.
