We’re always both excited and incredibly grateful when we get a call that somebody has a donation for Kids Up Front. Yesterday afternoon, we got the call that there was a big cheque – literally – for us to pick up today. The Young Activists Committee (YAC), part of the AUPE, donated $1148.30, so we were so pleased to be able to meet and thank them in person.The most heart-warming part of the visit, though, was when one of the group members shared her story with us: growing up, she had been part of a social services program and had received tickets from Kids Up Front, and expressed her gratitude and appreciation for the program. Loved that she shared that with us, and love that she’s now giving back. And this is exactly why we do what we do.
