Touched by letters

Dear Editor:

The letters sent by two members of the Simmons family of Harriston regarding the closure of the Community Living Guelph Wellington  day program touched my heart!

I sincerely believe the letters  showed readers how really necessary this facility is to certain members of this area.

As for me, I had no idea how much the clients  benefit from the social interaction that is given to them, or  that  deep depression results from the lack of  this social interaction.

My letter is a plea to the community to find some way to keep this program open.

With some good will and some  really inventive ideas, surely the program could be enlivened.

Those who  are benefitting from the companionship need our deepest consideration.
