Kukus restaurant is still not able to supply us with food and hot. They are hoping to be able to help us out in the next few weeks. We have been making chilli, sandwiches, lasagna and buying pizza the help those we are in need. We missed the one Wednesday when we had 26cm of snow on the ground but we managed to fulfill our heartfelt objective every Wed/ Tues robe able to give back and I speak only for myself instead of taking for most of my life. I believe in the power to change and we all can change if we want to bad enough. There is help available to all who will accept the help available and learn how to make it work for you. I had to learn how to make it work. It's not easy somedays but it's a worth the effort. Take care and keep believing..... it will get better.

Its was a very Merry Christmas yesterday. We made up turkey dinners and handed them out downtown. Everyone was so grateful that someone was giving to them and I had a chance to share hope of The Power to Change because my life had been changed and I get to share that to those who may think they isn't hope for them. There is hope for a better life for each of because of Christmas.

Two weeks ago Kukus restaurant had the front of their store damaged by a car that the driver was in medical distress. They have for the last five years supplied us with hot food and hot water to make hit chocolate. Today I made sandwiches to feed the less fortunate. We use to do this twice a week make sandwiches and hot water at home. I haven't done this in a long time ..... it brings back great memories of sharing and caring. I'm fortunate to be able to give back because I... have so much to be grateful for. I live in the best country in the world. The best city in Canada. I am married to a good woman I could go on and on. Please help us reach more people and let them know some cares.... in a world that it seems like no one cares. Please give an etransfer to [email protected] with you address and I will send you a tax receipt to help us all pay less taxes. God bless. Merry Christmas

Sad news today. Kukus restaurant was damaged by a car accident. The lady diving was in medical distress. The restaurant might be open in a few days. Because of the short notice we don't have time to prepare food for tonight. Sadly the van will not be going out tonight. We have been handing out food for more than 9 years and this will be one of the few times the van hasn't gone out. ... We will make other arrangements and the van will be going out on Sunday and Wednesday again just like before. We will figure something out. God will provide for us as He always has.

Last Wednesday night we had 22 people we fed and one for our friends who was staying inside with a friend now is back out in his door way. We were glad to see him but we hope he will find out accommodations soon so he doesn't have to live on the street anymore.
