Beau and I have been doing our part, hunkering down at home in self-isolation like everyone else during these trying times. Despite everything that is going on with the spread of the COVID-19 virus, we were still blessed with a number of great donations since our last update on Tuesday, March 10th.
We want to say a huge, heartfelt thank you for the six separate donations that we received. First, we want to say a big thank you to our good friends and neighbours Sharon and Earl for passing along a big box full of 32 individual packs of Pringles, as well as a bag full of clothing items, such as men’s PJ pants, 8 t-shirts, 2 jeans, women’s PJ’s, nightshirts, and leggings.
The second donation was from our dear friend and neighbour Nicole, who donated two large bags full of mostly men’s items, including 2 new pairs of running shoes, slippers, belt, 3 jeans, 2 sweaters, 5 sweatshirts, 2 dress shirts, 15 pairs of socks, 2 pairs of gloves, scarf, headbands, as well as women’s sweatshirts, fleece, socks, carrying bag, waterproof bag, and a real leather knapsack. Thank you so much again, Nicole!
We picked up the third donation from a lovely couple named Melissa and Mark, who along with their daughter Sierra passed along 6 full bags of both men’s and women’s items, including men’s winter coat, vest, shirt, tuques, as well as women’s jacket, coat, hoodie, 6 blouses, long sleeve tops, 13 new pairs of socks, 4 pairs of new mitts, scarves, kids boots, tuque, hat, and multiple bras.
They also passed along 7 carrying bags, multiple toiletry items, toothpaste and brushes, individual Kleenex packs, multiple new hairbrushes, protein bars, cookies, etc. We really appreciate your generousity and thank you very much!
Our fourth donation was standing in front of our front door with no note attached. This mystery donation consisted of a large box containing mainly women’s items, such as 5 coats/jackets, 6 pairs of pants, PJ pants, 4 new pairs of socks, zippered sweatshirt, Goodlife gym bag, as well as 2 new pairs of size 10 men’s runners, and a brand new pair of unisex winter boots (w-size 9/m-size 7.5). Thank you so much for your kindness and generousity whoever you are!
Our fifth donation was from our beautiful eldest daughter Tiffany, who passed along a backpack, as well as 98 protein bars. Thank you so much, sweetie.
Our last donation was dropped off on our porch last night by our good friends Telisha and Matt, who dropped off two boxes full of men’s and women’s items, including a men’s golf shirt, 4 dress pants, 2 jeans, 2 t-shirts, hoodie, spring jacket, scarf, 4 tuques, 15 pairs of boxers, as well as multiple women’s tops, 2 winter coats, leggings, and a large bunch of bras. Thank you both so much for your ongoing support of Project Dignity. We really appreciate your kindness and generousity!
As you all know, we will not be doing any outreach work until the government deems it safe again, and we are no longer required to continue with our social distancing. In the meantime, we hope that everyone stays home, safe and healthy!
We want to thank each and every one of you for any and all donations. Without all of you, we couldn’t do what we do!
