This evening at 4:45pm we got a call from a social worker that works with seniors. She called us in a frenzy asking us for immediate help.
She told us of an emergency so extreme that her voice shook with concern over one of her clients.

This is what she said:
"Hello Jen, I was hoping I would be able to contact you before I left my work for the day in regards to a rather important situation that came across my desk this afternoon. I hope you have the time to chat?"
I said "Yes of course, how can we help?" #care

She said "We have a senior lady that is struggling so much that she has been going door to door asking for food from others in her complex."
I was quiet and honestly speechless.
I said "Of course we can and we will help. What is it that you need." #FEEDYYC #FoodHamper #helping

Jen here, I am currently waiting for my car 2 warm up 2 be able 2 drive 2 a home in #Martindale to pick up & drive a mom & young son to the Children’s Hospital.
She needed a ride & did not have enough money to pay for a cab.
So the #volunteer on call called me for #help. #YYC

So soon I will be heading to the Children’s Hospital 🏥 & hoping that this young mans eardrum did not burst, as his mom said that this will be his 4th or 5th ear infection just this year. Mom is alone here in #YYC as she just moved here from #GrandPrairie in January of this year.
Now the #car is #warm & I’m off! I will #update everyone after I am back home! #HelpingOthers #DoAGoodDeed #community #Support #YYCCares #AlbertaCares #CalgaryCares #CanadaCares
Please share this far & wide! Both @ParachutesP & @HarvestHillsYYC are trying to raise funds to help humans & pets this Christmas & beyond.
The amount of people needing a helping hand especially since the start of the #COVID19AB & #COVID19 pandemic has risen as each day goes by.

Earlier this year we began planning this raffle in hopes of being able to garner enough success out of this raffle to sustain both organizations for a month or more.
But we need #Calgary’s #Help. We #need #Canada’s #Help. We need #Alberta’s #Help.

Today was a long and busy day.
16 Food hampers went out and were delivered! Just drained and frustrated as yet another mom was on my mind all day today.
Racism and bullying was on my mind today too. There were times when I pulled over after a delivery and just cried.

My emotions were all over the place. I went through the gamut of feelings but most of all I was angry.
Now I understand that government agencies have mandates to work under. However they also have discretion and emergency funding to help people.

Over the last few days I’ve gotten calls at all hours of the day/night from people feeling dejected 😔 depressed and hopeless.
What spurs me on....what keeps me and my team going is helping. Helping others. Even if it is only something simple as listening.

Yes I am still feeling sick. Yes I am still in iso. My hubby was kind enough to let me sit in his truck while he worked on it in the driveway! He said that way he can keep an eye on me and stop me from anymore online shopping!

Having to choose between Food and any of the above items should not happen and isnt right.
Simply giving someone, a family, a couple, a senior food security for even just a month...takes immense stress off of a person.

That’s why there are great organizations and groups like the @CalgaryFoodBank & @HarvestHillsYYC
Everyone works together and does what they need to do for the city that we all care about so much.

A big thank you to all the volunteers who have made all this happen. To the @HarvestHillsYYC team of volunteers, @GrannyGTArp and @EveryAlbertan and also @paul_yyc as well! Without all these awesome people...doing what they do...all of this may not have happened! 😊 So thank you!
On another note, I don’t like begging 🥺 but in this case I am. If you can help...please do as all the team @HarvestHillsYYC is looking for is $475.00.
This is for two medium families. If you can donate I am sure ANY AMOUNT is and would be welcome.
