This is the beginning of Lent for us. It is our first with Dad, however Barron and I have tried to participate once before and possibly one more time before that however I am a bit uncertain. This year we had a blunder by consuming a meatball sub from our favourite Subway shop nearby because we have not in quite sometime and I was worried about iron levels. In the future we will improve upon this however it is still not too late to practice along with others not to consume meat on Friday of every week of Lent.
We found a wonderful lent offering box called an almsgiving box: http://www.drawn2bcreative.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/AlmsgivingBoxCarrier.pdf and made our own version by repurposing a Tim Hortons TimBits box graphics designed by Barron.
Barron collected about 100.00 in change. Here are places we have helped during Lent:
To Holland Bloorview we gave 100.00 and Barron got a nice cape that was not from our box. We did this to show appreciation to the hospital and staff that helped our family.
We donated to the Ted Harrison Fund.
We helped with a donation to The Hedy Bohm Holocaust Survivor Fund at https://www.marchofthelivingcanada.org/hedy-bohm
Funds were contributed to the Dharn Man Food Fundraiser on YouTube.
To an inspiring woman we donated at: https://malala.org/
To support Johanna Bedsford's request for downloading a free product from: https://www.johannabasford.com/christmascard2021/ we paid it forward by donating money to the ArchieFoundation: https://archie.org/donate/
May trying something new enrich you and renew others.
