The Rocca Sisters Blog

Giving back to the community is a desire, and passion, held by many and sometimes it takes a life changing personal experience to move that passion and drive to a deeper level of giving – being ‘called to a cause’ close to your heart redefines your true gift of giving.

As part of our initiative we began going into families homes who have a loved one suffering from cancer and who needed to create a peaceful santuary that boasted all the things they love. We worked with families to create this special space and to make their treatment and journey comfortable.

We reached out to family, friends and clients for their help and we were truly touched by their responses. We received generous donations of many things including hand knit blankets. One of our clients wrote a book on living with cancer and gifted us several copies for the people we have had the opportunity to meet.

We know first hand how important family is. We also know how difficult it can be to see a loved one suffering. We remember bringing the sweet simple pleasures of life alive and creating a light in our Mom that had sometimes seemed dim.

We’re appealing to anyone in our community who could use our assistance or who knows someone who could. You may simply want more info or wish to become involved. We encourage you to visit our website, read our story and contact us directly at roccahomes@royallepage.ca or 905-335-3042.
