Thank you

Earlier today my parents brought their special needs granddaughter (their daughter passed away 3 years ago and they're raising and caring for their granddaughter) to an appointment on Howard Avenue today. They dropped an envelope of important papers. They didn't know they did until they got home. And tonight my dad checked the mailbox and found the envelope. Someone found it and brought it out to LaSalle with a nice little note on the envelope. So whoever it is THANK YOU! There are good people in the world!

Sad little boy getting hair cut

An older grey haired gentleman at The Mane Station barber on December 14th. You watched my 3 year old son cry throughout most of his hair cut. I held a phone for him to watch paw patrol which is something I swore I would never do. But the struggle is real and parenting isn't easy. When the evil haircut was complete I went to the counter to pay and Silver one of the barbers said your son is paid for by the gentleman I was cutting. He said Merry Christmas thank you so much to you sir. You made my day. Merry Christmas to you as well. I wish I could have thanked you in person. I hope you see this.

Paying it Forward

I found myself in a difficult situation at Freshco (McDougall and Tecumseh) on Thursday Sept 16th. I unfortunately had a gift card that was much less in $ value than I was lead to believe. I only needed to purchase a few items with the card and figured that the value would cover it. When the cashier scanned the card it was for much less than I thought and I did not have any money to cover the balance, so I told her to just give me two of the items that I needed. There was a very nice young woman standing behind me in line and insisted on paying for the other items. I told her that wasn't necessary and she insisted on paying for these items. I was brought to tears with the kindness of this young woman and thanked her profusely. There really are angels among us and I definitely will be paying it forward when my situation allows. Thank you very much kind lady.

Zehrs on Lauzon: Quick Thinking Health Care Aide

I was shopping at Zehrs yesterday on Saturday August 14th picking up a handful of items my grandmother needed, as she has difficulty shopping due to COPD. While waiting in line to pay and seeing +6 customers walk by I noticed an elderly woman seated on a set of blue stairs who appeared to have difficulty breathing. Following a handful of questions I ran to get her a bottle of cold water and grab the pharmacy team members to help assess the situation. I really wanted to call out another customer - named Mary - who luckily turned out to be a nurse aide and was really able to immediately take over the situation. She assessed the elderly woman's vitals which were erratic and quickly summarized her reasoning for this woman's medical issues. Because of Mary's calm assessment of the situation I was able to provide the 911 operator with very clear and concise information. Mary also quickly instructed the pharmacy team to grab a baby aspirin and then ensured the elderly woman chewed it prior to swallowing to ensure rapid ingestion. I also wanted to call out the customer - which I was not able to get his name - who immediately volunteered to run outside and direct the ambulance to where we were (he ran like a bat out of hell to be honest lol). Lastly, although it was not necessary it was a very kind gesture of the Zehrs manager to not charge me for the groceries, which made me cry because they were for my grandmother so the gesture was immediately paid forward!!! My grandmother was touched and expressed her gratitude as well.

What a great moment for me to experience in this city, seeing strangers come together when one of our community members is in need!!! My heart is happy today as such.

Paramedic Student

I want to give a huge huge shout out to the young woman that we met at metropolitan hospital on Tuesday. My husband was brought in because he had taken a pretty nasty fall after going into a seizure. Both of my young children had to come in with me. We had waited nearly 12 hours before even being seen by a doctor and of course my children were exhausted and scared for their daddy. To be completely honest, I was a nervous wreck. We met a lovely young woman who sat with us for nearly 4 hours. She had just finished up a shift and I can't tell you how much I really needed her kindness. She distracted both my kids (and myself) by playing with them and genuinely cared about what we were all going through. Kiana, if you see this post, THANK YOU SO SO MUCH! I have no doubt that you will be an amazing, compassionate paramedic next year! P.S my husband is feeling much better!
