I FINALLY found the perfect candidate for this year's Christmas DO GOOD project. 

 

After hearing about a very special woman recently, my girlfriend and I put the foot work into figuring out HOW to support her or if we could. Logistically, she is NOT in the province anymore however once was and has since relocated elsewhere. While supporting local is almost always easier to organize, especially with the nature of anonymity and privacy required:  I chose her because she is not only one heck of a woman, but some of you may know her as a member of the board- who went MIA.

 

For obvious privacy reasons, I will not be divulging WHO she is (unless she feels comfortable with this) but will say, she is by all accounts an amazing lady many of you have met.

THE CHRISTMAS CANDIDATE I HAVE FOUND AND CHOSEN TO SUPPORT FOR MY DO GOOD BE GOOD PROJECT

AND WHO YOU ARE SUPPORTING WITH YOUR DO GOOD(s):

  ❤️A human trafficking victim who is between 25-30 years old

❤️a woman who left her abuser(s)

❤️she is NOT currently employed or working in the industry

❤️has significant medical aliments that make working any job nearly impossible

 

While I have quite a few grocery cards so far, I'm not sure if she is able to use them where she is: so at this point I am encouraging anyone  participating to do the Do GOOD plus 10 CASH option: I will be tailoring gift CARDS that are specific to her needs, or just stuffing the money in the card that she can spend on whatever she wants.

 

My goal for our human trafficking victim is $250 (more would be AWESOME)

​

Our card is going on a road trip across the country and will be delivered in time for Christmas.

​

The ONLY glitch or time sensitive part to supporting her specifically is:

"THE card" needs to be put together BY the beginning of December (THIS Saturday) and will be in transit to be delivered to her for Christmas.

​

SO THAT GIVES US ABOUT A WEEK TO GET FCUKING BUSY.

​

exciting upDATES:

While I am still in the process of putting together the cash for our card that needs to be completed for Saturday, I also found out the family I had in mind for our Christmas Family has been adopted- which is super exciting!!!!

​

However this left me doing some last minute random research trying to figure out where to direct our Do Good(s) and how to facilitate behind the scenes with everything changing... 

 

Which as luck would have it, I found a local organization that has ALSO been named a 5 star Top 100 Charity by Charity Intelligence for 2023, was selected as one of Charity Intelligences Top 5 Impact: Calgary Charities of 2022 and supports victims of human trafficking. Bunch of big check marks for my own philosophies and inline with a lot of my own work in the community. 

 

RESET, RESET, RESET.

 

Heard of it?

 

For obvious reasons, this charity is right up my alley in theory and while I had hoped to balance our Christmas Do Good projects with supporting A human trafficking victim (which is almost a big checkmark) AND a family in need- it would appear sometimes through happenstance everything happens exactly as it should.

While looking through their website, there was a direct cash donation option AND a "Help Create a Magic Christmas".  Knowing full well I can not commit to adopting a family this late, with my limited resources- I opted to adopt a participant which strives to provide a laundry basket filled with items that are both basic needs items as well as items so the women can pamper themselves.

 

I feel like THIS is PERFECT. 

 

They have an Amazon Wish List, with numerous items. VERY basic items (varying from laundry detergent, coffee mugs, slippers, sweets, bounce, shampoo/conditioner, markers, painting kits for adults, etc)

 

Provided I had a couple of Amazon cards ALREADY in the Do GOOD envelope that were previous GIFT CARD AD ON'S - total $90, I went straight to work.

Of course you want to buy everything, however I opted as a good start to purchase 4 plush throw blankets- which the total was ALSO just under the amount I had in amazon gift cards and should be delivered by Dec 06. 

 

😁

 

Starting today, anyone who selects the DO GOOD gift card AD ON- PLEASE purchase an AMAZON GIFT CARD so I am able to select items off their wish list and have the items delivered.  If you choose the hard copy option (as in bringing the AMAZON gift card with you to our appointment), please include the receipt so I can verify it in person.

It appears it takes about 5 days to deliver the items and because this IS for Christmas, we need to get working on this right away... 

Oh yeah... I also STILL HAVE ALL THE GROCERY CARD(s) I've been collecting. IF you know a FAMILY who needs or could use some extra help- LET ME KNOW. We CAN do a card. Or they can sit in the envelope until I find someone. 

 

​

FOR THOSE who want to do a DO GOOD just beCAUSE: you can purchase an amazon gift card and send it to my email: MissSumThang@proton.me

​

(ANY AMOUNT would be greatly appreciated and I will choose items on their list OR you can also tell me what you'd like me to choose) this option is totally ANONYMOUS.

my EMAIL is ONLY to be used by those who are sending gift cards electronically. Please text me first, so I know you are trying to send me an email and can verify I have received it.

​

Thank you
🙏

DECEMBER 04:

Quick update and a huge thanks to TWO do GOOD(er)s who are the only reason a card, I called THE "Sunshine Delivery" was completed! The card is going across the country to a special woman WELL known on the board, who I picked as our Human Trafficking Victim to support for the spirit of Christmas and create a bit of magic for her.

The catch was, in order to help her FOR Christmas- everything had to be put together by yesterday... which didn't leave a lot of time... and to be honest, I had a lot of concern this would be the one project I'd fall short on. I tend to under promise and over deliver however this one was cutting it close... being the end of the month, the time of year and with the economy the way it is- I wasn't even sure it was going to happen.

My goal for her specifically was $250. Which is a BIG check mark.

The TWO contributors: one who gave an extra $100 just beCAUSE and another who saw me and selected my buss pass ad on, were the only contributors to this specific cause.

While the second do good(er) selected an add on to which benefits me 100 percent...HIS entire donation to me (my hourly minus overhead) also went in the card to ensure the total amount I picked as a goal was completed.

I'm really proud we were able to pull it off and REALLY can't thank the two contributors enough! Thank you 💕 and more importantly good on you!

I also have to thank a very special lady (she knows who she is) who is going on a cross country adventure and will be delivering the card personally. She will also be contributing amount(s) in her own card (her total will be based on what she is able too IF she can)...

It goes without saying she does and has done A LOT for this lady, continues to AND is the reason I heard about her. But also facilitating behind the scenes to make sure the card gets delivered. Between her and I, and the two do good(er)s... we did good 👍 I anticipate the total supports being atleast $350 altogether, if not more. Which is HUGE!

I will be posting the card on my website.

It's a Gooder.

It also just goes to demonstrate that everyone can do something and when a few do a lot, or a lot do a little bit... IT makes a huge difference and adds UP.

Tomorrow onwards: as posted above, any gift card Do GOOD ad on(AMAZON GIFT CARDS please or cash option) will be directed to RESETs Christmas magic wish list. I have already purchased 4 blankets which should be delivered Dec. 06 however will continue selecting items as do good appointments are booked

It would ALSO be nice if I can help my girlfriend with GAS money. While she is already making the trek across the Country for other reasons, she is delivering the card. So if any of you would like to help in that department, please let me know ❤️

👍🙏
Thank you
