Lily Edmunds hasn't added a story.
Hello,
My name is Lily Edmunds. I'd like to tell you a bit about my charity.
In November 2016 I was chosen by RBC to be a part of their #Make150 Count campaign & was given the task to do something good for people in my community with $150. As a way to continuously make the $150 count, I decided I wanted to start a charity that donates stuffed animals as therapy companions to people with Dementia and Alzheimer's. Studies have shown that a stuffed companion animal creates a positive and happy impact on the lives of those suffering from both diseases. Inspired by the happiness that a stuffed animal brought to my great Nana Ruby (who recently passed away) I wanted to find a way to let others like my great nana experience the same happiness from a stuffed animal. I have witnessed many smiles first hand after having the honour of handing out MANY MANY stuffies to people at the Alzheimer Association of York Region. The Fur-Ever Friends truly bring smiles to clients faces. I hope Fur-Ever Friendz can be a permanent fixture in our community for those in need.
WELCOME TO THE 2nd ANNUAL STUFFY DRIVE!!!!!
Thank you for your generous support last year. Because of your kindness, Fur Ever Friends were handed out to many D.A.Y program clients at the Alzheimer Association of York Region bringing joyful moments to so many people who truly deserve happiness.
It is an honour and a privilege for me to get the chance to spend time with these amazing people who have spent their entire lives taking care of us and the world around us. I want to make sure they know they are not forgotten and are very much appreciated.
The holidays are fast approaching and I'd like to make sure more people with Alzheimers and other dementia's get the gift of a Fur Ever Friend <3
My 1st hand out is November 2nd at the Alzheimer Society of York Region and will be featured on Susan Hay's of Global TV's "Making a difference". My hope is that when this segment airs, it inspires many to donate to Fur Ever Friends, the Alzheimer Society of York Region & inspires more youth to create positive change in their own communities.
Thank you,
From,
