The Sunshine Fund
Donation protected
Hi there!
My name is Miya Adout, and I am the Founder of Miya Music Therapy. At MMT we provide clinical music therapy services to people of all ages and abilities. We primarily work with seniors living with dementia throughout the Greater Toronto Area. Music therapy helps seniors to connect with themselves and those around them, express themselves through music-making, and engages them in a stimulating social experience.
During the pandemic, we have had to make a shift from in-person sessions to virtual sessions.
In long-term care and retirement living, our virtual music therapy program can go a long way in helping to combat isolation and improve the quality of life for seniors during the pandemic. However, we recognize that senior-care facilities do not necessarily have the staffing, funding, or materials available to make this is a reality for their residents.
That's where The Sunshine fund comes in!
Funds received through this campaign will go towards supporting a senior-care facility to receive;
1) 2 iPads
2) Funds to support an internal Resident Support Aide who will assist with the program on-site. (Taking the iPad into residents' rooms and helping them connecting virtually with the music therapist).
3) Funds for Virtual Music Therapy sessions.
Donating to this fund will help combat isolation for seniors in our community through the gift of music therapy!
If this sounds like something residents at your facility could benefit from
