Let's Light Up our Community with some
Introducing…. OUR FIRST WINNER for the Pay It Forward 2021
Michelle & Colin (Bowden)
We received EIGHT! nominations for this amazing couple from friends who wanted to let us know how much some strategic renovations could improve their life. At age 17 Colin was in a terrible car accident that left him instantly paralyzed. Because the home he now shares with his partner Michelle is not wheelchair accessible, Colin has no way to enter or exit the house without crawling on the floor. Every day necessities like letting their sweet dog out into the backyard are not accessible from the main floor of this older character home. And don’t even get us started on how much better the bathroom could function! We have some great ideas and would LOVE to help Colin & Michelle start their new life together in a safe & accessible home that fits their needs and provides the basic dignities that most of us take for granted.

Natasha & Marc (Poplar Ridge)
Natasha and Marc are a wonderful couple with dreams of some very special basement upgrades! Their young son Charlie suffered a viral infection called CMV before birth, and just like our own daughter Georgia, Charlie has permanent differences and disabilities because of this virus. Without being able to predict what the future could look like for their family, Natasha & Marc had the fantastic idea to create a suite in their basement that would be accessible for people of all abilities. In the short term this addition to their beautiful acreage near Sylvan Lake could provide a little extra rental income, or a fresh, appealing space for an extra caregiver for Charlie. In the long term we would be building peace of mind for a flexible & secure future for this amazing family no matter what lies ahead. What could be better than that?!
