We have a serious emergency.
Late this afternoon we were contacted by a senior named “Helen”. She only had one meal left in her kitchen.
She called us for help and we are helping.
We will be using the last of our available funds to get her some much needed groceries. #YYC #YEG

We will hopefully be giving her enough groceries for an entire month so she doesn’t have to worry about having to choose between medications/food, food/electricity, food/rent.
Too many #Calgarians are being ignored and forgotten. Too many #Calgarians are afraid to ask for #help.

We need help. If anyone can help with a donation towards her food hamper, we will be here for about 2 more hours because we are shopping for four seniors tonight.

I have an emergency that I would like my Twitter Family's #Help with.
I am worried about my friend Jenn and her co workers that run @HarvestHillsYYC.
They have run themselves ragged and need help.

There's a reason why Jenn and the team have not posted or shared a lot lately on their social media accounts.
She is probably going to kill me for doing this (RIP @Hell_Berta)......but I need to do something for them. I can't sit back and watch them burn themselves out.

As everyone knows, Jenn was in a car accident in Dec. and she was hurt pretty bad. I am talking grade 3 concussion bad and really really bad whiplash and other injuries.
She is at home recovering and her fellow board members and dedicated volunteers have picked up and helped.

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
