Tonight was amazing; I am so speechless.
We drove down to a low-lying NW community and stopped at the
first house we saw and asked if they needed help. After 2 1/2 hours and a
promise to return as soon as possible, we came out of it with a
lifelong memory of the incredible, amazing resilience and spirit of the
homeowners and our fellow volunteers. We are so much more than just a
city - we are community!
Below I've shared pictures of the incredible homeowners and our volunteer group. We were complete strangers, but it was harmony - not one negative thing was said, not one frown to be found. The smiles were plenty and the hugs were too. I will forever be inspired and humbled by Joan and Ray and all of our volunteer team from tonight!
Please donate to www.redcross.ca - Tom & I have donated as much as we can right now and it feels amazing.
Make sure to monitor the City of Calgary's & Calgary Police's Facebook and Twitter feeds for opportunities. You can fill out a form at www.yychelps.ca or visit www.volunteercalgary.ab.ca to keep up to date. Everyone needs the help that they can get!
