Testimonials

Excerpts of clients' letters to their dietitians.

"My dietitian worked with me, drew out, and listened to all my questions and worries, even when not related to nutrition. This helped me live through difficult situations, make important decisions and focus my thinking. The MDD is a place which makes one feel whole again."
- Mélanie

Thank you for the support that you provided to my husband and me. [.] I wish, with all my heart, that there will always be a place like the MDD for people who need help."

Additional testimonials

In 1995, the MDD received this letter from a grandmother:

"I was a child of the Depression era who grew up receiving help from your organization. All of our family benefited from the support that you provided to my mother. The nutritional advice that you provided her with allowed me to develop into a healthy senior citizen."
- Grace

January 5th, 2006, the MDD received this note:

"Reading an article of Mrs. Vallières in Le Devoir brought me back more than 45 years in the past. I was, maybe, 7 years old and we came to you for help for my mother. We left your organization with things like oranges and eggs and most notably, hope. My mother is now 83 years old; she is autonomous and in good health. For my part, I am fulfilled in life with two marvellous children and a job I adore. I so wanted to tell you that, each day, your work allows many among us to believe in a future and to follow our dreams. Thank you!"
- Jean
