Earlier today we were in downtown #yyc handing out water & gatorade and fruit, when we decided to stop & have a break by the Cat Cafe...when we came upon a senior lady rummaging through the city's garbage bins.

We thought she was looking for bottles to turn in for money but we were wrong. She was looking for both bottles & she was also taking food out of the bins & putting it in her cart.
As soon as we saw that we went over to offer her our help.

We went over, asked if we could get her a cold drink & a snack & asked her if she'd like to join us on our break.
She accepted. We went into the coffee shop across from the Cat Cafe (Forgot Name), grabbed some drinks & snacks and sat down in the shade across the street. #Hope

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.

We can’t afford to lose another pet or lose another life to #DomesticViolence, #Mentalhealth, #Homelessness, or anything else for that matter.
**Help IS Desperately NEEDED** **Emergency HELP**
This is very hard for us to write. But we feel we have no other choice due to us seeing the massive amount of requests that we are getting daily for both Humans and Pets.
Here is what has happened as of late:

Here is what has happened as of late:
This past weekend alone, we had over 30 emergency requests from individuals & families fleeing domestic violence. Many leaving with nothing but the clothes on their backs.
We were able to help about 17 of these individuals find shelter and lodging via referrals to other groups.

The other 13 individuals are being helped by our awesome volunteers. We are tracking down emergency funding and helping them apply for help through various organizations here in #Calgary.
We will be assisting them and their families in hopes of helping them feel safe once again.

Can someone help? I dont want to see someone be separated from their animal like Mark & Jaxx are facing
Lets raise the amount of $795.00 so they dont get evicted on Friday They only have to last 7-10 more days before they are able to access housing due to being on a wait list 🙏

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.

Things like this make me mad 😡. @HarvestHillsYYC is a grass roots organization that only has at the moment a staff of twenty volunteers that also have lives and families of their own
But when someone makes a request and demands to be put to the top of the list ahead of others..
But when someone makes a request and demands to be put to the top of the list ahead of others..
...and when they are politely told that it was not possible because there were other requests ahead of them...they accused The Harvest Hills Cares Calgary Team of not wanting to help!
They even threatened to go ahead and tell everyone about the “experience” they had.

Jenn had her volunteer call her in tears because that volunteer was threatened as well when all they did was respond in an appropriate manner.
