Dear editor:
A few months ago, I had some very dear friends of mine lose their 12-year-old daughter to childhood leukemia totally unexpectedly.
It crushed their hearts and those around them…myself being one of them. I have seen the unexpected expenses that also came with their heartbreak and couldn’t even imagine going through such a thing.
So I reached out to the town I have called home for 30 years to try to raise some money to ease the financial burden for my friend.
I just wanted to give a great big thank you to some people in this wonderful town for the support: Bow River Chiropractic Clinic, Canadian Tire, Ducks on the Roof, Great Things in Store, Hair by Virginia Knox, Home Hardware, Mark’s No Frills, Safeway, Stellar Hair and Tattoos….and wonderful home based businesses: Amber- Lia Sophia, April- Great Hookin Creations, Billy-Joe - Arbonne, Brooke – Skincerity, Celeste - Silpada, Custom Cake by Melissa B, Dena - Seacret, Jayena - Juice Plus, Judi - Tupperware, Kimberly B Steeped Tea, Layna - Lia Sophia, Melanie- Avon, Sara – personal crocheted hats, Sheri - Scentsy, Tracey-Tupperware….and personal donations of items: Amanda.W, Dara. D, Glenda. P, Jen. N, Jennifer, Laurie L.C, Leigh Anne V.J, Margi .S, Maureen. Z, Sarah. B, Sarah. M, Wormsley, Silverstein, the Jones family….many people who graciously donated cash, the people who bid and paid on the donated items and the people who bought raffle tickets.
I thank each and every one of you, some who know me, some who know the family and some who don’t know either of us, and you all still opened your hearts to my friends.
You all make this world a wonderful place.
Thank you,
Tana Kierzkowski
