Do you want to help the homeless during the pandemic?
Project weCARE Kits is a group started by students to give back to the community. We create and deliver care kits to individuals who are in need of resources during the pandemic. These kits are a way to start conversations and check-in with others in the community.
We’d love to have you in the group, if you’d like to get involved or donate items! (If you don’t feel comfortable putting together and/or delivering kits, that’s okay too! There are plenty of other ways to get involved. Please see the group’s page for more details.) https://www.facebook.com/groups/810834716381626/?ref=share

Are you in a romantic relationship and plan to relocate with your partner in the near future? Are you interested in being involved in psychological research? If so, then our study would be a great fit for you!
My name is Rebecca, and I am a researcher from the Relationships and Well-Being (RAW) Lab at the University of Toronto. Our lab studies romantic relationships and what factors are responsible for keeping couples healthy and happy over time.
More specifically, we are launching a study that tracks couples who are going to relocate to a different city or country for one partner’s job in the upcoming year—a growing trend in our fast-paced, mobile world. Many people report changes to their relationships during a major life transition such as relocation. We are interested in surveying couples before they relocate, during their move (i.e., brief biweekly surveys in the midst of moving), and after they have relocated (i.e., follow-up surveys 6, 9, and 12 months later) to identify factors that will help couples navigate changes throughout the relocation process. Given the longer-term commitment we require in this study, participants can earn up to $120 CAD ($240 CAD per couple) for their valuable time and efforts.
To be eligible for our study, you and your partner must be:
• At least 18 years old
• Currently living together
• Able to read and write in English
• Planning to relocate for one of your jobs/schooling in a month from now up to at the latest August 2021
• Both willing to participate in the studyIf you meet our criteria and are interested in participating in our study, we ask that you email us at utmrelocationstudy@gmail.com with the subject line “Interest in Romantic Relationships and Relocation Study”, or reply via the kijiji portal. When we reply, we will arrange a time to chat on the phone with you and your partner to confirm your eligibility. Note: your personal information will be kept strictly confidential and only used for the purposes of contacting you to confirm eligibility.
We look forward to hearing from all of the relocators out there!
With great thanks,
The RAW Lab TeamFor more information:

YES Canada is seeking host families in the Renfrew County area to host international high school students from France and Italy for a 2 or 3 month program beginning in April 2021. Becoming a host family is a great way to experience another culture at home and to have a truly enriching experience.
International students plan their study abroad program months in advance and pursue the experience to learn about our culture and language and to build lifelong relationships with their host family and peers while attending high school. Students have been accepted to study at a local high school and continue to be committed to experience their study abroad opportunity and are aware that their program will take place amid a different environment in light of Covid-19.
We have adapted our programming to adjust to the new environment for students and host families presented by Covid-19. Guidance will be provided to students and host families throughout the process both prior to arrival and throughout the program and our team are available to answer questions and provide information. Students are also required to comply with all Government of Canada and Public Health requirements during Covid-19 including a 14-day quarantine upon arrival and testing both prior to departure and upon arrival in Canada.
We believe that purposeful travel is an important part of what connects and unites us, and the exchange program can continue to build a universal understanding and connection in these unique times. We know that the host family experience is key to providing an enriching cultural and language experience, and provides for a comforting home away from home to students embarking on this journey and builds lifelong bonds.
Why Host? As a host family, you can contribute to this experience for the student and also have your own rewarding experience. Not only do you and your family get to learn about a different culture, you also get to share yours!
We ask that host families provide 3 meals a day, a safe nurturing environment and welcome the student into your family’s daily lifestyle. Host families are compensated with a monthly stipend for doing so. If you are interested in sharing in this experience and hosting an international high school student or would like to learn more about our homestay program and how we are responding to the impacts of Covid-19, please contact YES Canada at the email address or phone number below:

Dear friends,
I hope this message finds you well.
We are planning, organizing, and hosting a “Rock Out For Jack” fundraising event for our son and brother, Jack. And we would love to share our storied journey with you.
Jack was born with several severe disabilities and life-limiting conditions. He requires around-the-clock nursing care. His mom hasn't been able to work since Jack was born, as she is Jack's primary nurse. And his dad is battling guarded, high-risk cancer. The family is without private insurance; the costs of little Jack’s life sustaining medical supplies alone (tracheostomy & enteral feeding) are astronomical.
Jack is a young Stittsville boy who was born with CHARGE Syndrome; a rare and life-limiting disorder that arises during early fetal development & affects multiple organ systems. Jack is Tracheostomy dependent, has a feeding tube insertion and is deaf-with vision impairment. He has had 20 surgeries to date (#21 coming soon). Jack has had numerous admissions to CHEO totaling over 2 years, and he also requires 24-hour nursing care. Jack was subsequently diagnosed with severe autism and continues to battle epilepsy…at one point over 100 visible seizures daily were common.
Our fundraising endeavour, ROCK OUT 4 JACK Party & Silent Auction/Guitar Raffle Finale, will take place on Saturday September 26th, 2020, at Yuk Yuk’s Comedy Club on Elgin Street here in Ottawa.
https://www.facebook.com/events/550961889082499/Jack’s Silent Auction is hosted by his “Rock Out For Jack” page.
All donors will be gratefully acknowledged on this public event, and a link to social channels and website and website will also be incorporated.
https://www.facebook.com/rockoutforjack/(We would be honoured if you were to follow Jack’s journey with us, by liking his page.)
We are also planning to host a spring-time auction - for summer fun items - in support of Jack, and we would be so thankful and would appreciate and welcome your sponsorship.
(We would be honoured if you were to follow Jack’s journey with us, by liking his page.)
We would be ever so thankful if you were able to kindly support our family, with a
gift-in-kind donation for our silent auctions.You are our hope, by rallying around Jack and his quality of life. We are grateful to every thoughtful donor that chooses to contribute to his baby steps and mini miracles. We would be very appreciative if you are able to kindly share Jack’s journey with your family, friends, colleagues, and clients, alongside social media channels such as Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Twitter.
You can learn more about Jack’s journey on our newly launched website:
www.rockout4jack.orgWe also have a GoFundMe link available:
www.gofundme.com/jackbrownI have attached Jack’s fundraising letter and event flyer for your perusal.
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns please reach out to me at your convenience. I will be more than happy to answer.

Rock Out For Jack Fundraiser
& Silent Auction
Dear Friends,I am writing to you on behalf of my 10-year-old brother and my Dad. I would love to share our storied journey with you.
Jack was born in June of 2009 with many severe disabilities and life-limiting conditions. He is medically fragile and requires 24-hour nursing care. Jack was born with an uncommon syndrome named CHARGE. This syndrome is the leading cause of blind-deafness in children. Jack is deaf, with some vision impairment. He has a tracheostomy and a feeding tube. And he is mostly confined to a wheelchair (although he took his first unassisted steps recently at school (we never knew if Jack would ever be able to walk). Jack was also recently diagnosed with severe autism; less than the first percentile. We have never heard Jack’s voice. I cannot wait for the day I hear his first words. We’ve never been able to snuggle with Jack at night. He is hooked up to 4 machines periodically throughout the night. Jack’s mom has not been employable since Jack’s birth as she is not only his mom, but his nurse who has been trained by the staff at CHEO to care for Jack and to use life-saving measures if necessary.
Jack was admitted to CHEO on March 28th for his 20th surgery. He has unfortunately spent over 2 years at CHEO altogether. CHEO has been like a 2nd home for our family.
Exactly 3 months after Jack was born my dad was diagnosed with guarded, high risk Melanoma, with a 6-month prognosis. Jack was during a 3-month hospital stay when Dad was diagnosed. Since both his mom and dad were trained to care for Jack, they split 24 hour rotating shifts at his bedside. That was the toughest, most emotional few months that we have ever endured. My dad tried not to break down as he held Jack, but knowing he would grow up without a father was too much to grasp. The CHEO team saw our emotional struggles and set us up with a social worker at the hospital. We’ve been met with love and compassion throughout our entire experience with CHEO.
My dad remained in hospital for 3 weeks after his first surgery. The good thing was that the 2 hospitals were connected by a tunnel. Jack’s mom spent her days running back and forth between the two hospitals.
Recently my dad was hit with a major depression disorder (Doctors expected it to happen much sooner). Walking on eggshells with his health and his son’s fragilities, the recent passing of his father, added pressure at work, and a marital breakdown with Jack’s mom resulted in a significant decline in his mental health. On a positive note, the duration Dad has remained at home helped him develop a bond with Jack that is much stronger than we could ever pray for. He has truly enjoyed being a stay-at-home dad for this exact reason. Unfortunately, Dad has had to resign from work as a result of the physical and emotional scars left behind by cancer, which left him broken, beat, and scarred. Unfortunately, he will never be in remission, but he made a promise to us that he will continue to fight!
Because of dad’s illness, and mom being Jack’s full-time nurse, they are without private insurance. Although there is some support from government affiliated agencies, the out-of-pocket expenses for Jack’s care are astronomical. Life sustaining supplies and equipment (tracheostomy & enteral feeding supplies) are roughly $34,000/year and incontinence supplies are $5,400, which is a portion of the cost of raising a medically fragile child. Although Jack still faces a morbidity/mortality rate he continues to enjoy life with enthusiasm.
To our friends, we are graciously hoping for your support for
this upcoming benefit fundraiser for Jack,
and we are gratefully accepting gifts in-kind to benefit Jack’s silent auction.If you have any questions, comments or concerns please feel free to contact me at your convenience.

St. Alban's Church in Ottawa has started the "St. Alban's Online Homework Club" and the "Club De Devoirs En Linge St-Bernard" for French and English speaking students in grades 1 through 12! There will be no charge for the students to participate in this program; it will be offered to those who need help with schoolwork and have financial limitations.
We are using the zoom platform to tutor students in any subject they need or desire (in French and/or English), and our coordinator Scott can match you up based on your interest and abilities! No tutoring experience is necessary. Sessions can be scheduled for the length of time, time of day, frequency, and day of the week that is convenient for the tutor and the student!
You do not need to be a Christian or be affiliated with a church in order to volunteer. Volunteers will need a criminal records check but are free to discuss that and the application process with our coordinator Scott. If you are interested or have questions, please don't hesitate to contact him at scott@stalbanschurch.ca. We look forward to hearing from you!

The goal is to raise enough money so I can bring people to an environment that would help heal or at least show those in need that there is beauty in this world, when they only see the darkness the world brought upon them. Kid's and adults. The profit part is to help pay for the people that need help to get to a place such as this or for those who don't even realize that an experience like this can be a life changing moment. I've always said if I ever won the lottery I would buy a lodge for those in need, not singling out any type of person, and help them forget and rediscover the beauty of our world, but I don't play the lottery. MY hole life I have persevered through what life has thrown at me, being abused as a child, the divorce of my parents as a young child, having to help take care of my younger siblings as my father worked odd hours and shifts to provide, the deaths of my god children and grand mother in a house fire and many injuries.
I have so much passion burning inside me for my dream I just couldn't take it anymore, so I'm reaching out to you all. I'm always saying my dream job would be to make the lives of someone who needs a restart or to help them forget about life's pain, whether a person was abused or is sick or has an addiction it doesn't matter to me I will put a smile on a face that hasn't smiled in a while, I just wants to show a person life can be good, the outdoors is a great healer as it has helped myself, so I know first hand.
I am not looking for a free ride I is willing to put his life savings to accomplish this goal, and my goal is to help someone heal from the heart, even when I was hurting on the inside I was always smiling they call me smiley because I want to make others smile.
I have given my heart , soul, blood and my health to my all employers . I have helped build Hospitals, schools, our government buildings our work places and even our homes for decades and am so proud to have contributed to society and never wanting any glory.
I literally feel other peoples pain, on so many occasions I feel it in my body when someone is hurting or feels pain, or when injured, I shed tears for those I feel merciful for, whether its in person or even on t.v.
My mother was a missionary she travelled to countries when they had disasters to help the needy, I know I have her gift of wanting to help others.
I love wild life and taking pictures of outdoor scenery, for every donation I will try to give a digital picture that I have taken for you to use at your will through an email or other
Please help us to help someone.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read about my dream.

We are conducting an online research study to better understand how social distancing is impacting people’s mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic. While isolated from others, many people are using smartphones to keep in touch and engage with others. With the use of a special app, we can begin to understand how people are saying socially connected through calling, messaging, and app usage. Understanding healthy social behaviour during the pandemic can help minimize the negative consequences of social distancing. We are looking for people to join our study!
Who can Participate? We are looking for people who are ages 15 and older to participate in the study. You do not need to be diagnosed with a mental disorder to participate in the study. Everyone is welcome!
Will you be reimbursed for your time? Participants will receive $40 for filling out the questionnaires and working with our app for one month. We will ask participants to fill out questionnaires again after three months. So, if you complete the study you will receive $60.
Please register using the following link, so that we can send you more information about what it will mean to take part in the current research study: ww.covid19-prosit.info
