Working to heal families and bring an end to workplace tragedies

Stories of Hope

There is hope …

-Erin Pitruzella, whose husband Leo, a labourer for a paving company, died when he was struck by a dump truck loaded with asphalt

Volunteers provide mission-critical support
At Threads of Life, volunteers are the heart of our organization. Volunteers touch everything we do. All our programs, services and events are only possible because of the commitment of over 350 volunteers. This International Volunteer Day, we’d like to say thanks to each of them.

Need hope? Look for the helpers.
When you look for the helpers, often it’s just a few people providing so much comfort.
