She is probably going to kill me for doing this (RIP @Hell_Berta)......but I need to do something for them. I can't sit back and watch them burn themselves out.
I have an emergency that I would like my Twitter Family's #Help with.
I am worried about my friend Jenn and her co workers that run @HarvestHillsYYC.
They have run themselves ragged and need help.

She is probably going to kill me for doing this (RIP @Hell_Berta)......but I need to do something for them. I can't sit back and watch them burn themselves out.
She is at home recovering and her fellow board members and dedicated volunteers have picked up and helped.
But as I said I need everyone's help.
Anyways, to get to the point...My Point is: I need your #Help. #Calgary #YYC
63 #calls for #renthelp, #foodassistance, #utilityhelp. Even #evictionassistance. #Care
When they told me their reason for needing help, I have to admit that there were a few times that I cried right along side them while they talked.
I lost it. My husband and my kidlets just sat and stared at me #crying when my #son asked me what was #wrong.
My son then looked at me and with a serious face said:
"Mom, I love you but hate is a strong word."
I then started to laugh.
He then #asked me what could be done to #help. He asked this because he had #listened in on some of the calls and sat in his chair #stunned at some of the things he was hearing.
Please donate to @HarvestHillsYYC.
They need everyone's help to be able to continue to do what they do everyday.
