In memory of Melanie’s upcoming birthday on May 4th, Unidos por Melanie will, be doing a fundraiser for The MIRA foundation in honor of Eric St. Pierre. Eric passed away peacefully on February 21 of this year. He leaves behind a big void in his community as well as a legacy that has helped hundreds of blind children and children with developmental delays. Eric was a visionary, founder of the MIRA foundation and Melanie’s guide dog instructor and coach. Each week I will share anecdotes of Melanie’s journey as she attended MIRA in Montreal and how Eric’s guidance and patience help her to achieve her goal and bring Baza, her guide dog, home. I hope you can join me as I reminisce on Mel’s journey, Eric’s incredible work and the MIRA foundation. All donations are 100% for the MIRA foundation.
