Our Inspiration   Supporters
     

Effie Haralabakos’ philosophies in life are those of great inspiration and something this foundation has rooted itself in. The foundation is dedicated to supporting individuals and communities with Effie Haralabakos’ philosophies. We aim to enrich the quality of life of the life we all live, and to improve the most difficult of situations.

 

Effie's Philosophies
 
  • Strength
    Effie Haralabakos believed that any strong person looks at diversity as a challenge and must deal with the situation no matter how difficult. The strength she exuded was so definitive that it carried over to other people. Just being in her presence made people feel that they too could handle adversity in this manner.
  • Healing
    Effie Haralabakos believed in laughter as a source of healing even in the worst of situations. Laughter heals even the most painful moments. She passed this message on to everyone in her presence.
  • Hope
    Those who were close to Effie knew one very important aspect of her philosophies in life: Hope. Hope inspires us to be better people, to try harder and to never give up. Hope is the gateway to a better tomorrow.

 

Our Foundation
 
The Effie Foundation of Wellness is dedicated to Effie Haralabakos’ philosophies by providing communities and individuals with strength, healing and hope. We are a group that is committed to offering resources and support that will raise the standards in the world which we live in. The Effie’s Foundation of Wellness is interested in offering support for new medical research, providing resources to those requiring in-home support, and giving hope back to even in the most difficult situations, just as Effie Haralabakos did throughout her life.

 

How We Do It
 

Effie’s Foundation focuses on purchasing expensive in home care equipment for families so they can live in a comfortable environment, not in a hospital. The following paints a picture of the expense of basic home care expenses.

  • Wheelchair - $6000.00
  • Walker - $1000.00
  • Adjustable beds - $2600.00
  • Air mattress for beds $5600.00

Getting sick and having your life change in a matter of a day, week or a month can change everything. Most people don’t expect this to ever happen to them. Thankfully there are many foundations and Cancer society’s in Canada willing to help. Effie’s Foundation has had the privilege of gathering and donating around $30 000 per year to local hospices. This is our contribution to the quality of life of those who are suffering.
