I just wanna say thank you to the lady who helped me in the white Explorer. You notice that was struggling, trying to go uphill to the shell gas station on central. You got out of your car and pushed my car in this crazy cold weather. I hope you see this. That was so kind of you. I wish you nothing but the best this holiday. Much love!

The last few years have been anything but easy for a lot of people we all have been struggling with the cost of living everything is going up in price making it so hard just to survive not to mention covid happened and hurt a lot of small business. My personal story over the last few years have been anything but easy after coming home from Mexico because my family's life was in danger i was fined over 6000$ because of covid measures , my spouse at the time left me a month before our wedding leaving me a sudden single mom. I lost my business due to covid , then was in a car accident and rolled my car. My mother got sick stage 4 lung cancer no cure i immediately became her full-time care giver no business and no job i nearly lost my home care giving for mom sadly she passed away in June. The topper i enrolled in school hoping it would lead to a better career i could provide a better life for my daughter and i , I've worked very hard usually scoring 80 - 90% on all my tests and assignments. Last week i found out the school is having issues finding me placement so i will not be graduating with my class. I have completely hit rock bottom I've spent the last week angry and crying praying to god something has to give I'm not one to ask for help but this year i needed it more then anything!! At about 7pm last night on December 21st there was a knock at my door it was an older couple i have never met prior they hand me a turkey and all the fixings and said merry Christmas! When they left i hit the floor in tears! I just wanted to share my story because although life may seem hard and we struggle there is still good in our world and blessing come in all forms Merry Christmas!!

THANK YOU! SO MUCH! to the women who paid for the rest of my Lush items. You saved me a trip to the store and also gave me an opportunity to teach my daughter to do things without always getting something in return. You were amazing and didn't have to help me. I am usually the one always helping everyone else. It was nice to get it back. :)
Merry Christmas. I will contiune to pay it forward.

A special THANK YOU to a very special employee at Shoppers Drug Mart in Belle River. Maggie at the cosmetics counter!! You went out of your way to make me feel comfortable with my irritating request to do returns, re-buy and add to my purchase lastnight. Maggie you are a lovely gal and you went above and beyond helping me and my friend Jessica. Shoppers is lucky to have you! Amazing personality!

I really want to thank the customer who looked to be in his 40's long grey white beard with the black face mask on for giving me that $20.00 Thank you very much and if I don't see or hear from you again have a Merry Christmas

On Tuesday November 22, I had the opportunity of witness the quick actions of an off duty firefighter who put their training to work to help a complete stranger. I was waiting for my Dr.'s appointment at Dr. Mustafa's office when their was some commotion coming from the spill over waiting area. As the story unfolded, we soon learned that there was a gentlemen that went into the bathroom and while in there, had a medical emergency. Their family member knew something was wrong and reached out to the receptionist for help. Receptionist soon discovered that the situation was not good - bathroom door was locked, no key for the door could be found and the gentlemen inside was not responding. Soon, the off duty firefighter who was there with his parents jumped into action, introduced himself to the employees of the office includng showing his ID and told them he was going to kick the door in to gain access. Two swift boots to the door and access was gained. This gentleman didn't stop there though, he quickly went to the side of the gentlemen that was in medical distress and directed office staff to call 911. He stayed by the man's side, accessing him constantly until EMS arrived. He had complete control of the situation from start to finish.
It was evident that the family member of this man in distress was anxious and worried but the quick actions of the selfless individual quickly eased her concerns. Many of the patients inside the office thanked the gentlemen for his quick actions and the office staff were beyond grateful for his help, with one saying that he was an "angel in disguise."
The off duty firefighter shrugged off the accolades but I wanted to write this to let him know that he was "spotted" and wanted to give him a formal "thank you." Not only for the care he gave that gentlemen that day but for the care they put into their community each day as a firefighter.
We are forever grateful for the service of our First Responders and this is just another example as to why. God Bless!h

This evening while having dinner at Roma Pizzeria, there was an older gentleman by the name of J.P Durocher(84) with his daughter waiting for his brother's to arrive. Apparently this former windsor firefighter meets with his brothers/ friends every week for pizza here. The waitress Jen, has been serving them for the past 2 years. She asked them last week if they have a picture of them altogether and since they didn't, she took the liberty of taking one. Jen then gets a copy made and framed for each of them. This really touched my heart and I know JP"s too. I would definitely go back to this restaurant not only for their delicious food but to meet people like Jen.

It was such a pleasure running into Antoni Tambunan and his family on the weekend passing out flyers. I learned that he's running for Tecumseh Town Council Ward 2. Let me tell you about this man, Tecumseh would be lucky to have him. Toni is dedicated, committed and has a real sense of team work. I personally worked with Toni for over two decades and I know first hand that he's a team player. Toni is very well liked by many and one that goes the extra mile. He has time to devote himself to his community and I wish him all the best!
