Highlights

At this time of year it is hard to make ends meet. It is hard to buy food, never mind gifts for my kids. I applied to receive a Christmas hamper.

Earlier today I picked up that Christmas hamper from the Cochrane Activettes. They didn’t judge me. They were kind. Their volunteers smiled and wished me a Merry Christmas. And when I came home and opened the packages they’d chosen for me and my kids, I wept. Because somebody gave a darn.

Thankful Cochranite
