Christmas presents for Northerners!!
Christmas is the most joyful and yet one of the hardest times of the year for myself and many others. It’s a time to celebrate but yet a harsh reminder who isn’t here. I personally struggle as it come to Christmas. I see all the gifts I should be buying for Eve, I know at all the gatherings, there should be a spot for one more.
One way I have found to make the holiday season less hard is to purchase gifts for whatever age Eve would be that year and send them to little ones in Northern Canada where it is hard and expensive to access needed and wanted items. It has been a blessing to have friends, family and donors support this gift giving in Eve’s honour each Christmas. It brings me a lot of joy collecting, sorting and packing the Christmas gift boxes. Most of the time I get pictures or videos from the recipients, unfortunately due to privacy I cannot share these but let me tell you, we have made little ones and their families so so happy! Once again as Christmas approaches, I thought I’d open up to you all again and see if anyone wants to participate in this year’s gift giving. You may do it in honour of Eve, who would be 5 or anyone you would like. The deadline for gifts/financial donations is Dec 5.
I will collect funds and gifts then sort them into boxes, and post them to a group I use to connect with Northerners, then send them. It’s always done in a draw style and we get hundreds of families interested.
Alternatively you can also purchase a flat rate box and fill it yourself if you desire.
I know many of you like shopping on Amazon, I have once again made a wishlist where you can purchase items and have them ship directly to me, of you would like to donate through the wish list, please see the link below

You can also purchase items not on the list and send them using the wishlist link.
Thank you for always supporting this journey of bringing light love and hope to so many families across Canada!
