There’s no doubt these are tough times - but so many of you right across the country are stepping up to help your neighbours and even complete strangers. I couldn’t include every example below because there are too many, but here’s some #MondayMotivation for you. ⤵️
We’re only going to get through this by pulling together - and that’s exactly what many of you have been doing from the beginning. Here’s a good look at the “caremongering” movement that has inspired acts of kindness in communities across the country. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/…
For example, check out this story from Calgary. The staff at Angel’s Cafe used their last delivery of supplies to make meals for anyone in need, and now they’re using the cafe to prepare hampers for those who are in isolation and can’t buy groceries. cochranetoday.ca/local-news/car…
In Edmonton, what started as a group of 20 people bringing groceries and supplies to those in isolation has quickly grown to include more than 100 volunteers. And thanks to their efforts, more than 200 people have what they need. theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…
To make sure her more vulnerable neighbours had the food, housing, and care they needed, Kristene Perron started an online group. Now, people across Quadra Island are making homemade meals, picking up prescriptions, and helping others however they can. nationalobserver.com/2020/03/24/fea…
Jordynn Klein and other medical students at @UofT wanted to help health care workers however they could. And since offering their services, they’ve been busy babysitting, running errands, and grabbing groceries for those on the front line. thestar.com/news/gta/2020/…
And in communities all across Newfoundland and Labrador, families are coming together - with the help of some cute teddy bears - to keep kids entertained and occupied. In this challenging time, there’s nothing wrong with a little levity. cbc.ca/news/canada/ne…
