Picture
this – a five year old girl and her mother, when the Good Food Box
is delivered from the Soup Kitchen Community Centre.
“but
mom! It’s all fresh food! I haven’t had a banana forever!”
“not
today, I don’t have the money.”
“but
it’s only $15.”
“I don’t have the money. I don’t even have $2 for
bus money.”
The number of people that can relate to that scenario would probably surprise you. People that are homeless; people that have to choose between sending their kids to school with no lunch, or keeping them home and feeding them leftover pasta. People that have no choice but to live above taverns in rodent invested rooms. People trying to further their education to climb out of the poverty trap. They may seem like statistics but they are real people. They have a voice and they have a story. Please have a seat, listen and walk a mile In My Shoes
It meant so much to us! All of us commented that we NEVER thought we would be performing in a play in Toronto to over 400 people. It was amazing. We were treated so well and it was so worth while. We had a great time at Wonderland and Teddy, Aunt Liz, Lee-Ann and I had a marvelous time at Ikea. Teddy wants to go back because he met so many new people. He is still talking about Jennefer. |
