Helping Fort McMurray

On a very hot Saturday the week of the fires in Fort McMurray, our kids, along with our neighbours grand-kids who were visiting, came up with the idea of an setting up a stand to raise money for the victims of the fires. We were working outside that day, and saw the kids starting to carry things to the front yard. Once we found out what they were doing, we were able to get some iced tea going and help them out. They put up signs and were waving to drivers going by. We saw some people drive by, turn around and come back to make a donation. We also had some friends in BC who saw a picture of it on social media send $50. At the end of the day, they had raised $200.30! Thanks to those who stopped by to buy a drink or donate money. The kids were very encouraged and thrilled to help out in some small way.
