2019 Christmas Hampers for Families in Need

As Christmas fast approaches, we are reminded of those who are less fortunate. So once again, with the help of George Jay School, we have volunteered to create three Christmas Hampers for families who could really use our help and experience the meaning of Christmas.

This year’s families that we will be helping are all refugee families and have all experienced the killing of close family members and displacement. Atrocities that very few of us could imagine having to live through.

Family #1: Two parent family with 2 kids: Iraq

6 year old boy and 1 year old female.


Family #2: Two parent family with 5 kids: Afghanistan

14 year old female, 13 year old male, 10 year old male and 7 year old male  


Family #3: Two parent family with 4 kids: Iraq

13 year old female, 12 year old female, 7 year old male and 5 year old male.


 We will be collecting donations to help purchase the Gift of Good Food, toys, books, cloths and gift cards for each child and a Walmart gift card for the family to purchase food and extras. These past six years have been a huge success and extremely rewarding for everyone involved.

Now as we know a lot of people don’t have cheques and rarely carry cash, so we’re happy to announce we’re making it even easier again this year for people to join in and be part of this wonderful cause by way of credit card and direct online payment. Just let us know how much you’d like to contribute, and we’ll send you a direct payment link or simply click on the amount you wish to donate below. So please reach out to Yuee if you are interested in helping to make this a happy and memorable Christmas for these families.

Wednesday, December 18th, 2019 is the last day for donations. For more info or if you’d like to donate a specific amount not available below, please contact Yuee and she will be more than happy to assist.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Did you know Breast cancer is something that has affected roughly 1 out of 8 women in their lifetime. That’s why it is important to have a checkup once a year for early detection.

Screening tests should continue as long as a woman is in good health and is expected to live 10 more years or longer.

  • ·  Women ages 40 to 44 it is recommended that they should start their annual breast cancer screening with mammograms.

  • ·  Women age 45 to 54 should get their mammograms every year.

  • ·  Women 55 and older should switch to mammograms every 2 years, however they can continue yearly screening.

  • ·  All women should be familiar with the known benefits, limitations, and potential harms linked to breast cancer screening. 

For some women with a family history, a genetic tendency or certain other factors should be screened with MRIs along with mammograms.

There are numerous awareness activities which take place in Victoria, BC such as:

October 6, 2019 - 7:30 AM to 10:00 AM - CIBC Run for the Cure
