Ok here's some info on a family in need. This is an email I got the other day from a co-worker.
This year we will once again be sponsoring a family in need and this years family is a single dad (mom left when the kids were younger) and he has 3 girls all aged 10 years and older.
Dad was employed part time at the College here in Kelowna as well as a part time student in the trades.
Sadly dad has just been diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour and is not able to work. He is currently waiting for medical EI to start but in the meantime has no benefits at all because he was only employed part time. Once EI begins it is still not enough to cover day to day expenses let alone Xmas.
No pressure at all, this is completely voluntary...........whoever would like to contribute please let me know.
If you guys feel these people are a good option I'm happy to coordinate with whoever is collecting from this thread and get the money off to them.
