Raymond Ningeocheak longs to eat seal meat again with his family in Coral Harbour, Nunavut — but the medevac flight alone to send the Inuk elder home from long-term care in Ottawa costs $45,000.
Ningeocheak has spent the last year at the Embassy West senior living facility, where he is receiving care for dementia.
