Spotted : My best friend is the most loving and generous woman I have ever known. She runs a charity called iPads for Autism (i4A) and has organized many fundraisers, raffles etc to give deserving local families, who would otherwise not be able to afford them, an amazing tool for their child diagnosed with ASD. Last night she heard about a family who had recently needed to move back to the area very quickly and were unable to bring most of their belongings with them. Even though i4A was on hiatus for the Christmas holidays, my best friend made sure this little girl will have an iPad for
Christmas. What an incredible, and generous person. So many local children have already benefitted from her hard work. She works tirelessly to make miracles happen without even realizing that SHE is the miracle. Truly the embodiment if Christmas spirit.
To this lady, you make the world a better place every single day.

I am 28 years old. One of my best Christmas memories is when my father bundled my sister and myself and took us to the "North Pole". I was 3 years old then, full of hope that I had indeed been to the North Pole. Every year after to this day, I make my way to the "North Pole". I want to say thank you to the kind family in Lighthouse Cove near Tilbury, you have given me priceless memories that I will cherish forever! I want to say shame on those who say negative things about this family collecting donations for "make a wish foundation", because of you I could not find the donation box, so I left my donations on this families porch! Bless the "North Pole" in Lighthouse Cove, you have been spotted for the last 25 years!

Spotted : Over the weekend, my mother who is suffering from colon cancer spread to the bones had a bad reaction to her first dose of chemotherapy. Her at home nurse recommended we call an ambulance and take her to the ER. What a mistake that was! The paramedics were fantastic; personable, caring, and helpful. Unfortunately, the same could not be said about the nurses on call that evening. After waiting in the ER for 5+ hours without any pain meds because she was unable to ingest them (bone cancer is known to be one of the most, if not the most, painful cancers), the way she was treated by the attending staff disgusted me. She was told that she should "accept the consequences of chemo or give up" and that the hospital was crowded enough without her there. The fact that anyone had the audacity to say this to a suffering patient is truly despicable. Once we relayed this information to her nurse from Saint Elizabeth, she was as horrified as we were and shocked they did not admit her to the hospital overnight. We will of course be lodging a formal complaint against these individuals, but I thought that this would be an appropriate method to show the lack of sympathy shown to my mother. The other patients there that evening shared this sentiment and I believe they too are owed some sort of reconciliation of the situation.
Any Met ER nurses reading this: I sincerely hope this opens your eyes to the way patients deserve to be treated.

Spotted : Thank you to reliance home comfort at 11pm on dec 23 to adjust the furnace wiring so we can have heat. You stayed positive and had conversations with us to make sure things worked. Merry Christmas from our WARM house to yours.

Spotted : I received this random act of kindness from an anonymous woman who was familiar with my families' struggles and she had received a message to help - it was sent with the message "I had a dream about you and had to do this". She doesn't know me personally and said it was a gift from a higher power.

Spotted : Thank you to the ladies at the ZEHRS on manning for being so patient and ringing up my 500+cans of free soup for my donation late this week. I felt so bad u had to unload my cart 3 times.

Conversation started today

To the person or persons who dumped their old black leather couch in the alley behind my house near Walker Road and Niagara on Monday December 23: If you read this, do the decent thing and pick that couch back up and bring it to the dump yourself. I also want you to know that I hurt my back trying to get it out of the alley - I was afraid that it might cause an accident if someone ran into it with their vehicle. Shame on you for leaving a heavy piece of furniture like that for someone else to have to worry about. We should ALL be responsible for PROPER removal of our OWN furniture when it becomes unwanted and we should NOT dump couches on someone else's property or on city property abutting someone else's property. You might have thought it was harmless, but I called the city and they will not remove it. Therefore PLEASE do the right thing and come back and remove it YOURSELF!!!

Just a shout out to Spotted in Windsor!
