I am so thankful for a group of amazing guys at McDonalds on Walker Road by Best Buy!!!!!! The truck I was driving stalled in the drive thru, and these guys came out in the rain and massive puddles to push me out until someone comes to help me. I'm so sorry for your crazy soakers and wet clothes, but so grateful that you laughed and were so kind to me, as you could see I was insanely embarrassed!!!! #reallyisthishappening ?! Xo

I made it on friday 12:30pm to Louie"s on Cabana/ Howard. What a sweet man, 4 customers and myself were shopping. At the cash register, the lady stated to the owner that his bisiness was about to pick up this weekend. To which he replied "WHY"
She said the lady and her daughter you helped the
previous night acknowledged you on Spotted in Windsor, telling us of your good deed. To which all the customers yelled, Yea, we're here for you Louie for your kind and heartfelt gesture. He said you know, i do this every chance that it arises. All i can say, fruits, vegetables, and prices were great. I plan on making this a weekly event.

To the nice young couple Brett and Amanda from Disputed road, THANK YOU for helping my Nana shovel her driveway on Bouffard Rd. It made her day for some younger people to offer to help her out, and I doubt that if you hadn't taken the shovel off her, the sweet, stubborn little-old -lady she is would have finished the whole job on her own.

To the gentleman who stopped on Lauzon and McHugh by Select Auto across from the condo building, yesterday afternoon, to give my husband a lift to the gas station when he realized the van was out of fuel, THANK YOU, the sidewalks weren't all shoveled along Lauzon, and for him to have to walk to the gas station and back would have taken forever. Thanks again for your kindness, it was duly noted!

To the wonderful staff at Butterfield Limousine. You have no idea how happy you made my daughter. She was going in for a final chemo treatment, and she wanted more then anything to ride in a limousine. Of course we wanted to get this for her since she is only 9. When I called around I realized we couldn't afford the price of a limo just for one ride. When I called Butterfield to get a price, I was asked what it was for. I explained what my daughter wanted. The girl who does the bookings asked for my name and phone number and asked if she could call me back. I figured that was it. 10 mins later she called me back to get details for the day. I explained we couldn't really afford the price but thank you anyways. She insisted on what the plan was for the day so I told her. After 20 mins on the phone with her she explained they were just going to give my daughter the limo. "GIVE MY DAUGHTER A LIMO" just because they wanted to. They felt that a little girl as courageous as that should definitely get what she wanted and that money should never play a factor. So to the staff at Butterfield Limousine THANK YOU. You made the end of that chapter such a wonderful experience for her. Even though this was awhile ago I wanted them to know how great they are and I refer all of our friends to them!

I would like to share an inspiring story with all of you.
About two weeks ago, on that night that was -40 temp outside, My husband was outside having a smoke before bed. He looked over at the car sitting in our driveway and saw someone inside. A man was taking a nap in the car. This man was homeless and was freezing. My husband being a pretty big man was very intimidating to the man in the car. The man pleaded with him not to beat him up or call the police, he pleaded that all he wanted to do was warm up a little before heading downtown to the homeless shelter. This man was wearing ratty old safety shoes, a leather coat, and jeans. All where soaking wet. If my husband had not come across him no doubt we would fund a frozen homeless man in our car in the morning. My husband then came over and told me what had happened and ask me to warn up some soup. He had invited this man into our house to warm up. The man was apprehensive about coming in, but he was reassured that no harm would come his way. My husband talked with this man while I made him some soup. He learned about this man life. He was a man who got caught up with drugs and had made some bad decisions in his life. He recalled the days of owning his own house and having a job. The homeless man was so surprised of our generosity.
I placed a large bowl of soup in the dinning room with a fresh hot coffee. The man was very delighted to have a warm meal. I quickly ran through my home and found some new thermal socks I just bought. My husband gave this man a brand new pair of winter boots that he received as a gift. And a warm hooded sweatshirt. I thought Jack the homeless man was going to cry. Jacks shoes were to small for his feet and he could not wear thick socks with them. He was so excited for the new boots. His feet could now stay dry and warm. I gathered up some fresh sandwiches and snacks to give him for his lunch the next day. We could not leave Jack out in the cold so my husband drove him to the Downtown mission. He gave Jack money that he had on hand. Even though my husband new the man was stealing things from the car he ignored that fact and pretended not to know. We did not judge him for that. What would we do in the same situation. I just thought that I would share this story so maybe more people would not be as scared of homeless people. They are people also! They are just at a bad part of there lives at the moment and sometimes the small things we can do to help them can make a big difference. So proud of my husband for being so kind hearted!
