Act of Kindness #56

Ghislaine is a close friend of our family from Winnipeg. She has always been a very generous person and has helped my parents with many little renovations and other projects around their house. Several years ago a botched surgery left her paralyzed but she has continued to have a positive attitude and is an inspiration to anyone facing difficult times. It was no surprise to us that Ghislaine was thinking of others less fortunate than herself and found a way to give back to the community. What a great charity and story thank you Ghislaine for helping us to share our love!

Act of Kindness Story submitted by Ghislaine Courcelles: 
While waiting in the dental office, I thought of a Random Act of Kindness for Joanna and Jeremy. I asked my dentist, Dr. Christine Lachance if I could buy some toothbrushes from her. When I explained to her why I wanted them, she gave them to me free of charge.
So now I had 5 dozen toothbrushes, I purchased 60 tubes of toothpaste and 60 bars of soap. I started doing some research as to where I could donate them. I remembered a story in the Winnipeg Free Press about a very young girl who was collecting backpacks and filling them up with needed supplies for the homeless. Learn by more about Callie's Backpacks for Winnipeg's Homeless on her Facebook page. 

When I contacted Callie, I told her about Joanna and Jeremy's wedding wish. Callie thought this was awesome and with Joanna and Jeremy's permission she will be posting their wedding story on her web page hoping others will consider doing the same.
