As we come to the one-year mark of my Mother's death, my family and I were moved to reflect on how this moment might be celebrated. For that is what she would have wanted.
Cathy, beloved Wife, Mother, CC and friend, was always ready and willing to extend herself in support of others. If she saw there was a challenge that people were facing, especially Women and Children, she was ready to do what she could.
And here we are, at a moment where the conditions of the world in which we live see more people than ever struggling to find a way to put food on the table. Women and children, more than ever, are turning to places like the West Island Mission to make sure that they have something to eat while still finding a way to pay for the basics - their rent, electricity, phone bills...
The power of donating some of your financial resources to West Island Mission is simple: for every dollar they receive, they are able to turn that into $7 worth of food. And with a commitment to offering healthy food sources, this means they have a chance to provide people with dietary choices that support their overall health.
Changing lives through healthy food - so simple, yet so powerful...
Now, more than ever, they need our help. And if you listen real close, you can hear Cathy urging us to act, to do a little something for those who have less...
With deep humility...
