11/23/2022 0 Comments Why Giving Tuesday?You may have seen or heard about #givingtuesday on social media, but what is it and how did it start? Well, it happens the Tuesday after Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Now that people have taken care of their needs, they look forward to helping others. This is from the Giving Tuesday Canada website "GivingTuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. The idea caught on, and has grown around the world, inspiring hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity. GivingTuesday was founded in 2013 in Canada by CanadaHelps.org, GIV3 and several other founding partners. GivingTuesday has active movements in more than 80 countries, working year-round to inspire generosity around the world, with a common mission to create a world where giving is part of everyday life." We started this project on #givingtuesday2021 and here we are one year later! We are now partnering with the program and are excited to share this with you. We have set up a DONATE now button on our website which links to our Amazon Wish List - however we do also accept in kind donations, primarily we are looking for gift cards at this moment - we also accept e transfers to our email for gift cards and project needs. This month we will be presenting to several groups to share the project. Please keep us in mind, on Giving Tuesday! If you have questions, concerns or want to know more, please contact us! Let's help make the world a better place!

Sarah Sherman - Founder of We're Here For You - Comfort Kit ProjectThe founder of this project, Sarah Sherman, felt compelled to help other women, children and young men - who find themselves seeking help after a sexual assault. From personal experience, Sarah knows the trauma of having to get help from the RCMP, going to the ER and the devastating experience of having to undergo a rape kit from a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) which can take several hours. The nurses are amazing, but nothing makes it feel any better. At the end of the exam, Sarah recalled what it was like to put on clothing that did not fit right, was inappropriate for herself and to walk out of the room with nothing. She wanted to do something that would make this recovery a little bit less intimidating for the next person. She hoped to help provide them with some dignity, respect and equality as they make their way through what will inevitably be a long journey of working through justice, healing and recovery. |
