COMMUNITY
“When I was a guest at Daffodil Place, I never felt alone. Everyone was so caring, and we treated each other as family. We leaned on each other during tough times and celebrated when someone finished their treatment. I spent 6 months at Daffodil Place – it became my home away from home.”
“The staff helped me tremendously with their knowledge, their empathy, the home atmosphere, and the home-cooked meals. Daffodil Place was a saviour for me because if I have been in a hospital for 4 months, I think I would have probably let go. Ever since, I’ve been a fighter for Daffodil Place.”
