  Descrição

  French 🇫🇷 to follow ⬇️
  
  Let me ask you, have you ever heard of Paralympic sports? How about boccia? Now, imagine being part of something unique: volunteering (and even getting paid if you have a work visa) while diving headfirst into a world of determination, resilience, and inspiration.
  
  Here’s the kicker, I’m someone who, by every medical standard, should’ve been long gone. But through the power of sport and a relentless drive, I’ve shattered expectations, outlived my so-called “limits,” and show no signs of slowing down.
  
  This isn’t just an opportunity to assist; it’s a chance to join a story of pushing boundaries and redefining possibilities. Where there’s a will, there’s always a way!
  
  You’ll need a driver’s license and fluency in English or French. A work visa is a big plus, and trust me, your efforts won’t go unnoticed, you’ll be well-compensated beyond just the experience.
  
  Love cats? Perfect! I’ve got two, and they’ll be part of your daily routine. Non-smokers only, smoking seriously affects my health. Ready to step up? Let’s go!
  
  I’m looking for someone with a strong sports background or personal support experience who’s ready to jump in and be part of my elite training process for the next few months!
  
  I provide food (within reason) and lodging, but the real reward is being part of a winning team, helping with preparation and strategy as I push for the podium. And if things go well, you might even travel the world (🇨🇳🇵🇱🇧🇷🇺🇸🇨🇴) with me as I compete at the highest level.
  
  Keeping things running smoothly is key, and that’s where you come in. You’ll assist with my daily routine, handle household tasks (dishes, laundry, vacuuming), grab groceries, prep meals, and tackle whatever comes up. If you’re organized, reliable, and up for the challenge, this could be an unforgettable experience.
  
  I live close to downtown, near the Botanical Garden and Olympic Stadium, where I do most of my training.
  
  Whether you have experience working with people with disabilities or just a fearless, bring-it-on attitude, I’m looking for someone ready to dive in and make a real difference!
  
  Curious about what I’m looking for? Want to check out some videos of the help I need or get a better sense of who I am? Just ask, or take a spin on the web, I’m not exactly hard to find!

  As-tu déjà entendu parler des sports paralympiques ? Et le boccia, ça te dit quelque chose ? Maintenant, imagine-toi faire partie de quelque chose d’unique : donner un coup de main (et même être payé si tu as un permis de travail) tout en plongeant dans un monde de détermination, de résilience et d’inspiration.
  
  Voilà le truc : je suis quelqu’un qui, selon la médecine, n’aurait jamais dû arriver jusqu’ici. Mais grâce au sport et à une volonté sans faille, j’ai explosé toutes les attentes, dépassé mes “limites” supposées et je ne compte pas m’arrêter là.
  
  Les trucs importants:
  -Un permis de conduire et un permis de travail sont indispensables !
  -Tu dois être une personne non-fumeuse car c’est très nocif pour moi.
  -Tu dois aimer les chats et t’en occuper, j’en ai 2.
  
  Si t’aimes le sport, voyager (🇨🇳🇵🇱🇧🇷🇺🇸🇨🇴), une vie saine et tu aimes découvrir des choses nouvelles, ma proposition t’intéressera! Il s’agira essentiellement de m’appuyer dans mes activités sportives et journalières.

  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  You will get a life experience of a new world, learn about incredible resilience in overcoming fantastic obstacles! We have an amazing and open community. Open your mind and heart, don’t be afraid, dive in and you will get an abundance in return.
  
  You will learn French and if you are French speaking, you will learn some québécois French and you will also improve your English, if It’s not your mother tongue.
  
  You will learn about Paralympic sports, experience a great city; Montreal is a very vibrant city, we have lots of green spaces in the city and very close to the city. It’s Montreal, it’s awesome, even during the winter, but as you can imagine, I prefer the summers as snow and wheelchairs don’t get along very well!

  Ajuda

  If you have experience helping with the physically disabled, that’s a big plus, but it’s not a deal breaker, as you’ll learn as we go along. Embrace it as a challenge:)
  
  I expect you to be fit, as it helps with what the tasks you’ll be performing.
  
  What do I expect? I expect you to be organized, responsible, dynamic, go with the flow, be chill, work well with others, high energy during our tasks and very keen to discover wheelchair sports and my very particular community:) I like somebody hands on, that doesn’t back down from challenges, that wants to learn and shows initiative.

  Acomodação

  I live in an apartment complex and your domain for your stay will be the living room but no worries, you’ll have privacy as there will be a divider/curtain separating your space (approx. 3.10m x 3.30m pictures included).
  
  You will sleep on a comfy futon. You will also have a TV, working area, an IKEA shelving unit with drawers (clothes and stuff) and a small table. You will be comfortable.
  
  And of course I’ve got your wifi needs covered. I also have Netflix, Disney+ and a sports channel!

  Algo mais...

  I’m a pretty simple person, I enjoy a stress free environment, where everyone gets along and where there’s solutions for everything, wouldn’t that be great. I live for my sport and to give kids and adults with disabilities some mentorship and guidance, on what you can achieve with dedication and passion.
  
  I enjoy going to the movies (from indie flix to blockbusters and watching the Simpsons and during the summer, I like going to terrasses and I enjoy walks/rolling.
  
  I have never smoked or done drugs and I don’t really drink, but I do enjoy a small glass of quality red wine with supper, once in a while. I’m a serious athlete, even given my limitations and I truly adhere to healthy living! I really believe it’s the reason I’m not dead, as the doctors gave me a short life expectancy!
  
  I expect you to be a non smoker, no drugs and drink with moderation, if you drink. You should pick up after yourself, I’m not a neat freak, I just like a tidy place. I want a down to earth person, someone not too complicated or demanding, just be happy to be
  
  And as I said before a good level of fitness is very helpful to helping me out:)
