To the Ryerson family,
It has recently been brought to the attention of many students on one
of the official Ryerson student Facebook pages that there are theives
tormenting those among us. A few students have gone to their exams and
followed the strict instruction of parting with their belongings, only
to return and find valuable technologies missing from their bags.
If you can only imagine the distress and discomfort that follows
losing your personal laptop to an unknown individual; all saved
assignments, personal writing, photographs and memories removed from
your life permanently. It certainly is not a pleasant way to begin the break.
This fund is being set up because it has been noted that Ryerson
students are incredibly loving, accepting and helpful. This hopeful
charity is being arranged to scratch a dent in the amounting stresses
that weigh our fellow students down as a means of showing the true
spirit of what it is to be a Ryerson student.
Everyone needs a helping hand once in a while, and this season I feel
it is of the best interest of our brothers and sisters that we help
each other out. The community that is constantly being shaped around
us deserves to be strengthened with the positivity that, despite the
stress of our exhausting education, will never fade.
We can hope that those responsible for these crimes are
discovered, but at the end of the day, it is rare to solve a problem
that stems from within an individual. To go beyond the
psychological/social problem of thievery, let's focus on solving the
problems of those who are temporarily displaced.
It is the holidays, and it is exam period - as students, most
have little in their bank accounts and even less in their wallets. It
is not expected of anyone to contribute to this fund, but for the sake
of pure inspiration, I ask that anyone who can, please help!
If the laptops are returned, I promise to issue 100% of donation
to those who contributed.
Thank-you all for being exactly who you are, whether you
contribute or not.
