On April 4th, a community resident of the Spence neighbourhood lost his home to an electrical fire. The owner did not have insurance. The homeowner managed to remain financially independent by selling recycled materials, but does not have funds for emergencies.
The Spence Neighbourhood Association, a non-profit community organization that works to support the community and connect residents to local resources, started its Emergency Response Project to help residents who suffer significant losses due to sudden unforeseen circumstances. Today we are requesting monetary donations to assist this displaced individual in finding a new place to live. The monetary donations will help the individual secure a damage deposit for housing, and any immediate furniture that will be needed. Any donations $25.00 or more will receive a Charitable Tax Receipt.
Please stop by our office at 615 Ellice Ave. Monday to Friday between 10:30 am to 5:00 pm, or visit our website at www.spenceneighbourhood.org and click on the “Donate Now” button on the right side of the home page to donate through CanadaHelps.org, and be sure to write that it is for the
“Emergency Response Project.”
We want to thank everyone who has expressed concern and a desire to help this individual during this trying time.
