To help parents whose child lives with a disability to find the specific resources they need, the Society pilots Carrefour Papillon, an on-line reference service that lists hundreds of resources offering services directly related to the needs of people with disabilities. Residence Papillon and Auberge Papillon offer the families respite stays. These services provide the parents with a bit of rest and gives the children the opportunity to have fun and meet other youngsters in a warm family atmosphere. The Society wishes to further extend its action and increase its support to the thousands of children who must learn to confront the daily challenges inherent in living with a disability. To reach this objective, the Society relies on the contribution of the public and private companies from all backgrounds, as well as thousands of volunteers who, driven by the same spirit, join their efforts to help these young butterflies with a broken wing to spread their wings.
