Sophie Prégent and Charles Lafortune smiled proudly in front of the logo of their Autist & Major Foundation this Thursday evening. The charity evening brought together hundreds of guests with the aim of raising funds that will facilitate the life and integration of autistic people who are at the beginning of their adult life, as is the case with Mathis Lafortune.
In this other post, you'll learn more about the foundation's mission and reveal exclusive images from this Alice in Wonderland-themed evening.
Her boy wasn't there that evening. His father continues to reassure the public by assuring us that he is doing very well. “He is doing very well, he is 22 years old. Big, big boy.” Social events are not Mathis' element. “He doesn’t particularly like this kind of business. When there are a lot of people…,” the presenter and producer told us. His partner also told us that her public appearances “are not about making a spectacle of it.”
However, the boy did not have to envy his parents for the glamorous occasion, because he experienced a Thursday evening that made him very happy, at home, in the company of a person very dear to him.
“Tonight there was someone who took my son away for 12 years, she took him to school and she picked him up, Ginette. Now she is retired and lives with her son, but in case she was called to pick up Mathis from school, they will eat at the restaurant there. »
The young man can use the room for autistic people and major Québécor, one of the very concrete achievements of the foundation, located in the center À pas de jardins. The young man often visits this wing, which is reserved exclusively for adults.
