The Véro & Louis Foundation | Différent comme toi Collection
Différent comme toi at Aubainerie!
It is with great joy and immense pride that Aubainerie renews its collaboration with the La Fondation Véro & Louis as part of the Différent comme toi campaign. This partnership is a natural fit, as it aligns perfectly with our core values of respecting uniqueness and embracing differences.
We invite you to mark Autism Awareness Month by purchasing an item from the collection, with a portion of the proceeds going to La Fondation Véro & Louis. These funds will help create adapted long-term living environments for autistic individuals aged 21 and over who require daily support.
The Collection
The Véro & Louis Foundation
Founded in 2016, the Véro & Louis Foundation is dedicated to creating long-term living environments for autistic individuals aged 21 and over, with or without an intellectual disability.Beyond being a housing facility designed according to the world's best architectural practices to provide an environment suited to autistic adults, the Foundation has developed an educational program to support residents in developing their independence and full potential. This innovative initiative is backed by ongoing research to assess and continuously refine its approach, with the goal of replicating this model across Québec.The first home, located in Varennes, was inaugurated in June 2021. Currently, two new Véro & Louis homes are in development—one in Victoriaville, in the Mauricie–Centre-du-Québec region, and the other in Saint-Jérôme, in the Laurentians.
Différent comme toi Campaign
La Fondation Véro & Louis is back for its 8th edition of the Différent comme toi campaign. Available online at the Foundation’s boutique, in participating Aubainerie stores, and on Aubainerie.com, this collection allows everyone to proudly show their support for inclusion and diversity. By purchasing a Différent comme toi shirt, you become a true ambassador of difference. Thanks to the generosity of Quebecers, previous editions of the campaign have raised nearly $2.7 million. These funds directly impact the lives of autistic adults and their families by financing the construction of Véro & Louis Homes across Québec, supporting research projects, and funding an educational activity program for residents and external participants. This year’s collection features a unisex hoodie and t-shirt for adults, as well as a t-shirt for children, available in limited quantities. There are many reasons to support the Foundation’s mission—get your Différent comme toi shirt at Aubainerie or online today. Wear it with pride and help support a life-changing initiative!
