The money we’ll receive from selling our quilt will go to the Crisis Centre of North Bay. Due to the these hard times, lots of people lost tons of money. These unfortunate events could have led to more homeless individuals taking on the street life. This organization exists to help the ones in need to get back onto their feet. This organization helps with young, old etc. individuals get back on their feet. The north bay crisis center helps with people with drug addictions, help the homeless warm up during the cold winters, they do counselling for those who need it and help young adolescents find employment.
This organization is important to me because everyone lives hard times and may need assistance. These unfortunate people simply need support and may not have money to get off the streets. Whether you are wealthy or not, it is important to help each other because together, we are a community. The north bay crisis center is a good example of helping one another. Everyone experiences difficult times and may not have a family to lean back onto when they are in need of help. In my best opinion, giving someone the second chance to get back onto the feet is one to the best thing you can do. These acts of kindness can greatly improve the life and circumstance that someone lives in. Although I may not know these people personally, I would still want them to live a good life without having to worry.
This organization matter to me because many people and even children don’t have a home, food or a family. The Crisis Center accepts any men and women over the age of 16 years old as well as helps with drug addictions, provide shelter and warmth. Especially during these times, I believe that they could use the money to present the less fortunate with some food and a place to stay. They could use the money to sanitize I believe that everyone deserves a chance to get back on their feet.
For me it’s important to donate to the people in need because I feel that the money can help lives that struggle with money, addiction and mental issues. The organization helps the people in need after a crisis, and the money from our quilt can make a difference, and it would mean a lot to me if it could help at least one person. As someone who’s travelled a lot out of town, I’ve seen homeless people on the streets freezing and starving, looking for anything they can get their hands on, and I enjoy helping those in need by giving them food or money or anything I have to offer them. By donating to the organizations I feel like I’m contributing to a good cause, and it makes me happy that I can give a helping hand.
There are countless men, women and children who are in need of warmth, food and shelter in the city of North Bay. Some are a result of drug or alcohol abuse, others are just born with unlucky circumstances. Either way, they deserve a second chance as well as our support. This foundation is important to me because I know that the homeless I see in the streets are someone’s parent, sibling, child or friend. There are people out there who can’t take seeing their loved ones on the streets but don’t have the money or resources to help them. Therefore, donating to the Crisis center helps both of those parties. The homeless are cared for and their families and friends can take comfort in that fact.
I feel that donating this money to the organization we have chosen is very important. The reasons being is that they help countless people every day from the ages 16 and up, for a multitude of things. These things include helping the homeless, people with addiction or mental health issues and much more. The Crisis Centre helps people get their lives together after things go downhill for them for whatever reason. My dad used to work there and from what he’s told me they do so much for the community to help the people in need. I would really love to help out an organization like this and one my father has worked at. I’m sure that our donation will help them with their causes, in these hard times. They can use it for the good of the people and community.
