Thank you for another
AWESOME Golf Tournament!
It is with grateful hearts that we extend our sincere thanks to each and every volunteer, sponsor, golfer, donor, emcee and golf club staff.
Your kindness, generosity and tremendous support have made this tournament a huge success!
As you have heard us say so often, this is so much more than a golf tournament!
Your support has made it possible for us to work with you to see our goal come to fruition - to build our life-changing Emergency Shelter in Leeds and Grenville. Thanks to you, the golf tournament raised $18,000 this year.
See you next year!

The power of your testimony
Sharing your victory with others can be so powerful. It encourages anyone who is caught in the same predicament to reach out for help.
Many thanks to those who shared their testimony.

We would love to extend a hand...
We understand wholeheartedly how hard it is to share such an inconceivable testimony as yours, and at the same time, how it could be so helpful and liberating to yourself and to others. Sharing your story becomes a valuable resource which gives not only to those who have experienced this type of ordeal, but is also gives hope and encouragement to others. Young people who are victims of sex trafficking often lose hope of getting out and wonder if anything good will ever happen to them. Hearing your inestimable life story might be just what they need to reignite hope and courage to help them believe again. If you want to or have a testimony to share, rest assured that I will personally guide you and support you through this process, you are not alone. Please, do not hesitate to contact me at 613 213 2859. Denise
