Leonard Foidart has knitted and donated more than 1,000 tuques to help others stay warm. With neighbours donating wool and local organizations getting his creations to people who need them, his kindness has become a community effort.
We also spotted his Lifeline button during the interview! Stories like Leonard’s remind us how much older adults contribute to our communities through their talents, generosity and care for others.
Thank you, Leonard!
Leonard Foidart built a cot so he can knit comfortably while lying down. The 84-year-old from Notre-Dame-de-Lourdes, Man., lost his legs decades ago and finds it difficult to sit but loves to knit, donating more than 1,000 tuques in the last five years.
