Our Headliner-Doug Arden

I want everyone to know today exactly what we do.  Here are a couple of stories. 

 

This year we paid for a wig for a young mother with an eighteen month old daughter.

 

We paid for a wig for a young woman who was graduating high school and really wanted hair to style into an updo for her graduation pictures. 

 

We paid for plates for a woman who is terminal so she can drive her children to school.

 

We paid for plates for a woman who was told to take the bus in forty below weather fighting lung cancer. 

 

We stopped three foreclosures. 

 

We paid living expenses for a woman who worked her whole life, used up her 15 weeks of disability and could not get welfare because she owned her home and was left with no income at all. 

 

We paid rent for a woman that also used up her 15 weeks and because she wasn't sick enough to die, got no help from social services because she had 4000 dollars left in her RRSP's.  She had to use it up before they would look at her application.  By the time she applied again she had a long waiting time and was going to get kicked out of her home. 

 

We paid for cheer leading.  Because when Mom is sick, kids still need to be kids.  This girl was the mom's primary caregiver.  When mom was sent home after her mastectomy two days before Christmas, this girl cooked and cleaned and made pancakes for their Christmas supper.  (And for the record, they never asked for it.  We were also paying basic living expenses.  We just felt it was the right thing to do.)

 

We gave away over forty thousand dollars. 

 

We raise this money slowly.  We work for 3 months for our auction.  We raise about 20,000 thousand dollars that night.  We make the other twenty thousand dollars from things like raffle tickets.  Two dollars at a time. 

 

And events like this one. 

 

Here is our headliner.  His name is Doug Arden.
