A CHRISTMAS SURPRISE !!!
Hello fellow neighbors. I am asking for help for my dad as a surprise. They 're fridge and cupboards are bare. Food is scarce.
Since my mother died 4.5 years ago, my dad's income has drastically dropped.
He is in a rough neighborhood where his car got vandalized and then hit by a snow plow totalling his vehicle all in the course of last year. With no proof he had to cover most of the expense. He financed a new car because he can't walk distances. The car is more expensive but it was the cheapest one he could get
They haven't really been able to have a good Christmas.
He helps some women in the neighborhood who finish work late by driving them home to ensure they're safety. He has taken care of my son and adopted him when he was 2 years old. He struggles on CPP paying expenses for 2 other family members apart from himself. My brother only works part-time, leaving my dad paying for his food on his little bit of income.
I am posting this hoping that some people who are better off, can maybe help them out and surprise them with a good Christmas .
I am in school and on social assistance I want to help them out but I simply can't. I struggle just to make my ends meet as single mom with my 10 month old daughter.
They could use food and whatever else you may think of.
My dad is too proud to ask people for help. The city doesn't give much in terms of a Christmas hamper. There's just too many people in need.He barely make's it each month. Sometimes his fridge is completely empty and cupboards will have only a few cans inside.
He was a hard worker in his younger years and now works hard to survive. He severed a tendent in his thumb many years ago and then got all sorts of health problems. He is an amazing dad and man, always thinking of others before himself.
I am hoping he can have a chance to be thought of by someone else.
At the moment my son (15 years old) doesn't have a winter jacket, I have been looking through thrift stores trying to find a good one. He's 15 years old and picky. I haven't found one I can afford that's to his liking. I feel terrible that I can't help my family in their times of need.
Thank you for your time
Happy holidays, cheers to all of you

Our English Conversation Group (ECG) has been helping newcomers practise and expand their everyday English since 1995. All we ask of our volunteers is that they have a decent command of English and a pleasant disposition.
On Monday evenings, volunteers and newcomers meet in a public place in old Ottawa East for one-on-one conversations. These conversations are relaxed and informal. You will meet new people, learn more about other cultures, and do a good deed in the process.

Volunteers are needed nationwide to teach English. Based on the volunteer’s skills and education, it is also possible to volunteer as teachers’ aid for subjects like Math, World History, Environment, Grammar, Science, etc. This project offers the opportunity for volunteers to assist students of Elementary Schools located in rural areas, where access to English teachers is limited.
The volunteer work consists in teaching basic English and Environmental lessons in rural schools with no resources, from the Coast, Highlands and Amazon. To those who have good level of Spanish, we offer to assist the children who have learning problems helping them in reading, writing, grammar, mathematics in the afternoons after school (mainly in the schools from the Coast). The schools do not have didactic materials for English lessons; volunteers are responsible to prepare these materials for the benefit of the schools, to prepare exams and evaluations, as well as, for each grade, a report about the students' achievements and goals must be given to the Principals of the schools.
Duration of the project: Minimum time for volunteering is 5 months, up to 10 months. Volunteers can apply for the following periods:
In the Highlands and the Amazon: from September to the end of June;
In the Coastal region: from May to the end of January.
Special requirements: Basic knowledge of Spanish is required.
Location: Coast, Highlands and Amazon

Do you try to buy meat from ethical sources like butchers or organics? I’m one of the researchers on a UBC/UofT project on Canadians’ meat consumption. We’d like to speak to people who try to buy humanely produced meat (e.g., cage-free). Participation will involve an online group interview. Participants would find 3-5 friends who also try to buy ethical meat and then participate with them in a group interview. Contact Rebecca at ethicalmeatstudy@gmail.com to participate/learn more! Participants will receive $25 and meeting organizers will receive $50.
