I’ve had an incredible experience leading a Crafts for a Cause program over the past 6 months at Viva Retirement Community in Mississauga. The seniors have really enjoyed the opportunity to use their passion for arts and crafts to benefit others in the community and have been working hard to create wellness cards and beautiful knitted items for those in need. One of our knitters makes crotchet teddy bears and inspired others to make them as well. We accumulated over 50 bears within the first few months and I was able to take them into the Ronald McDonald House Charity for the holidays. It brings a smile to my face knowing that this program has become such a success and has helped bring light to the lives of those who are less fortunate or are suffering from illnesses. The Seniors with Skills organization truly recognizes the importance of strengthening our community, which is why I am so glad to be a part of the initiative. I am excited to see what other great things we accomplish for this new year.
