Lost my wallet at Walmart on Dougall this past Monday night.
I'm trying to reach to mourning community to hopefully get it back. I had my dad's last picture with his writing on it as he passed away in January this is of great sentimental value to me more than any money or gift card inside (my kids Christmas by the way) also the high cost of replace my ID'S and personal documents.
I will appreciate to get it back.NO QUESTIONS ASKED!
Thanks everyone! ☺

I know that this is essentially the same post but i was only able to attach a picture of Shady. I am reposting the same paragraph with a picture of my other missing cat Token. On November 19, my brother forgot to close the window and my two indoor cats Shady and Token went missing in the Lincoln Rd And Tecumseh Rd area. I've been putting up flyers and checking the Humane Society and still no luck. They are greatly missed and I'd give anything to have them back. They've never been out before. Shady is 11 months old, all grey with yellowish brown eyes. Token is 6 years old grey with beige and white markings and green eyes

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!!!!

My father is a Captain for the Windsor Goodfellows (see below for details on the non-profit organization).

He is looking for volunteers to hawk the Windsor Star Special Oldnewsboys Edition in order to raise funds for this great cause. He is desperately short on volunteers and covers Devonshire Mall / Roundhouse Centre / Walker Road.

Any amount of time you can offer, preferably in four hour blocks (or longer) if possible... But again, any amount of time would be appreciated.

The drive is on...

THURS NOV 26: 8:30 am - 9:00 pm
FRI NOV 27: 8:30 am - 9:00 pm
SAT NOV 28: 8:30 am - approximately 4:00 pm (possibly earlier)

Also, if you would like to bring some friends or family members that would be fantastic. Keep in mind for the high school student in your life, this time counts towards their community hours (just make sure they bring their papers to be signed!).

And as an incentive, homemade chilli will be provided to warm you up! 😊

If you are interested or know someone who might be - feel free to contact my Dad directly or pass his info along. I can also be a liaison too .

Captain, Roundhouse / Devonshire

What is the Windsor Goodfellows?

We are a non-profit organization that has been servicing Windsor / Essex County for 105 years. We are a tight-knit family of volunteers from all walks of life who come together for a great cause to help the disadvantaged of our community. We love our community and care for all who call this wonderful place home.

How does Goodfellows help?

When people think of the Windsor Goodfellows, they immediately think of Christmas. Although we do offer help by providing families with a box of food and a certificate to purchase perishable food items to celebrate the holidays without the worry of being hungry, we also offer a vast array of programs to lift the disadvantaged of our community throughout the entire year. We don't offer a hand-out but a hand-up!

This hand-up is done by providing a Year-Round Food Bank because hunger doesn't need a special occasion to be present. It is also done by providing a Breakfast / Snack Program that is served to approximately 1200 children daily at 9 local area schools. Each child in our community deserves to be fed prior to taking on the arduous task of learning. If a child's stomach is growling, they cannot focus on the task at hand how could they? It is done by providing a Children's Footwear Program where children in need from JK to Grade 8 can receive new shoes and / or boots. There isn't a sadder sight then seeing a small child trek through the snow with only a beat-up pair of runners on their feet. Each child in our community deserves to be comfortable and warm. It is done by providing a child with a teddy bear to snuggle or a book to read. Although we don't have a formal toy program, we receive many toy and book donations throughout the year that we hand out to our clients when their Christmas food box is distributed. We give until we have nothing left.

This is not child related but I could use some help. I lost my wedding ring over the summer in the Tecumseh/ Belle River area, I reported it to the police but it hasn't been turned in. It has my engagement ring, wedding band and 1st anniversary band soldered together, the brand is Simon G. I received a cheque from our insurance to replace it 4 months ago, I understand it's just an object but I can't bring myself to replace it. That's the ring my husband put on my finger when we got married, it made me smile every time I put it on my finger, I miss it SO much. I'm just not ready to get just another ring, this is my last desperate attempt to find it before I go get another one, even though I feel like it's still out there, I just don't feel right not wearing a ring. If anyone has any information please let me know. Thank you

This evening we went to McDonald's in the east end Walmart to celebrate my daughters 7th birthday with my grandmother. While there and finishing our dinner a very sweet lady walked over and wished my daughter a happy birthday handed her and my son each a toonie for a sundae. They were both so thankful! Your kind gesture has made us want to pay it forward! Not sure how just yet but we will pay it forward!! Thank you again!

This so heartbreaking to me and my family. Last night, Nov 24, my car was broken into. I live in LaSalle. (Spucewood/ Matchette subdivision). The few things that they took can be replaced except for my Mother's ashes!!! I kept them in a silver and glass jar in my glove box as my "Guardian Angel" when I'm driving. If you have them or know of someone that does, please return them. They mean nothing to you. We can even agree on a mutual place that you can leave them anonymously, or even mail them back to me. No questions asked. All will be forgiven.

Just wanted to send a friendly reminder to Windsor, that during the holidays we must respect all. This message is specifically towards our retail workers. During the holidays, it gets extremely overwhelming for us, but, speaking for myself, I usually love the busy store. With that being said, I just wanted to send out a reminder that during these busy holidays we are working earlier mornings and later nights. We try to go above and beyond for all of our customers. Understandably, everyone is overwhelmed, both retail workers and customers, the one thing we ask of you is to try to keep your spirits high. One rude comment from a customer can totally tamper a cashiers day. Please try and remember to stay friendly! Thank you and happy holidays !!

To the emergency room nurse who was working the front counter this afternoon/ evening, thank you for being so kind and helping my family member today. You are truly in the right calling and make one exceptional nurse, which was evident in just the short time I was able to see your calm and patient demeanour. Thank you so much, your hard work has not gone unnoticed.
