The defining moment in my life that shifted the way I was thinking...and brought me to ubuntu.
Great question. Tough to answer.
In the sense of living and breathing and working and playing.
This year I have done some work with the Kelowna Women's Shelter on an exciting new fundraising campaign. The more I have become involved with the Shelter, the more the staggering statistics have jumped out at me. There are over 4700 women that are locally affected by abuse - and these are just those who finally have left and came to stay at the shelter. Thinking in holiday terms, that is a lot of displaced women and children during the holiday season. I can only imagine how terribly scary that would be for a child. Questions like "Will Santa find us? Where is our Christmas tree?" etc. are sure to be heard over and over.
So we developed a text-to-donate campaign. You can easily change a life by donating $10. Think of it like securing a Christmas dinner for a family that is in transit during this rough time.
You can also donate gift cards, materials, or via credit card or cheque here.
Let's make sure everyone gets a safe & happy holiday season this year.
