Home Instead Owners Donate 100 Portable HEPA Filters to Homes In Need

Glen and Nadine Robson, Home Instead Peterborough owners have gifted 100 SharkNinja portable HEPA to homes in need due to fires around the country that have impacted air quality announced on Wednesday.

Peterborough Housing Corporation, Community Care Peterborough and Thrive Housing and Support (formally Kawartha Participation Projects) are delivering the air purifiers throughout July.

“It was an amazing experience today to give the air purifiers to our clients. I delivered a unit to Edward, who is a 90-year-old client living with congestive heart failure among other health issues,” Raj Shah, Community Care Peterborough client services coordinator.

Jenn Ropertz, director of client services for thrive housing and support, accepted the air purifiers.

“With the increase in poor air quality with fires around the country, air quality often has a big impact on the breathing of our elderly clients with respiratory issues,” she explained. “Because of the generous and compassionate donation, our high-risk clients can breathe a little easier.”
