WIN House

A big thank you to Pauline, Sabrina and Debra from Western Star Trucks Cafe in Western Star Trucks North Ltd. Acheson. They put together a silent auction for the rest of their team and customers in December and raised $1,240 for us. We greatly appreciate their efforts. *Also, it's worth a trip to Western Star Trucks Cafe for the cinnamon buns alone.

We stopped by to thank everyone at Shoppers Drug Mart City Centre East/West, Londonderry Mall, Millbourne Mall, Oxford Park, Clareview Mall and Shoppers Simply Pharmacy 66 st. As part of their "Growing Women's Health" campaign, we were the recipients of a $11,100.00 cheque. Such a great way to start the year. We are fortunate to have such an amazing group looking out for us.

Happy Holidays to you all! 2020 has been one in which we've all had to rethink and do things in a different way to achieve our goals, no matter what they are. Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, we have been able to continue to help women and children in need throughout the year. We look forward to a brighter 2021. The best to you in the New Year.

Thank you to Shine Alberta Society for their generous donation! Happy Holidays to all of you!

Stuff It 2020 was a big success, thanks to UBAKA Canada The Seven80 , Blackjacks Roadhouse & Games Room and everyone who donated toys, gift cards and cash. There is more than enough here for the children of all ages staying in our shelters. Your generosity will make their Christmas brighter, as every child deserves.

A big thank you to AWill Aspiring Women in Leadership & Legacy for their unbelievable support to WIN House over the past years with the Pack-A-Purse campaign! We have been the happy recipients of many, many purses packed full of the necessities our clients need when they arrive in the shelter. Toothbrush, shampoo, soap, feminine hygiene productsyou name it and AWill packs it! Due to COVID issues this year, AWill has decided to fundraise for the campaign rather than coll...ect purses. Consider a donation $20 to this wonderful campaign and AWill will direct it all to organizations like WIN House. We are ALL in this together. If you want to buy some cookies to help raise the funds look no further! Purchase a pack of cookies from The Nook Café online and help support that way. The choices are gluten-free peanut butter, oatmeal chocolate chip, and cranberry orange and the cost is only $15 per pack or $25 for two! Either way, you are helping make something great happen. Thank you!

"With emotional abuse, the insults, insinuations, criticism, and accusations slowly eat away at the victim's self-esteem until he or she is incapable of judging a situation realistically. He or she may begin to believe that there is something wrong with them or even fear they are losing their mind. They have become so beaten down emotionally that they blame themselves for the abuse." ~Beverly Engel If this resonates with you and you want more information on identifying abu...se, please follow the link to our website Forms of Abuse https://ecs.page.link/ckEzy or Call our helpline at 780-479-0058 or [email protected] We are here to help and support you! . . . . . #shinealightondv #emotionalabuse #gaslighting #domesticabuse #emergencyshelter #womensshelter #youarenotwhatyouhavebeentold #domesticviolence #abusesurvivor #narcissisticabuse #ifmywoundswerevisible #psychologicalabuse #whenhomesnotsafe #weareheretohelp #manipulation #humanitarianissue #helpline #edmonton #alberta #yeg #yeggers #breakingthesilence #reachout
