Post #32 - Success!
Hey guys,
So today we sorted all the toys we received for the 1st Annual Dave Sidhu Memorial Christmas Drive. I just wanted to say we all did an EXCELLENT job! I'm still in awe that we've raised over $15,000 in toys and cash for the hospitals! Like Mami-Ji said, it's just so overwhelming to think about! And because we received so many toys, we're now also donating some to different women's shelters in the Lower Mainland, and to me that's just amazing! I never thought we'd receive so many toys. People really are wonderful. How can we ever tell them how much their generosity has touched our family? Words can't express how thankful we are.
And do you guys realize how proud Mama would be? Today he was looking down on all of us as we came together to help so many sick children. I can't begin to express how amazing it is that he's still helping people smile even though he's no longer with us...
A special thanks goes out to Harinder. You came up with the idea and even though we all pulled together to make the toy drive a success, we would've been nowhere without your leadership! I know none of us (me, Roger, Mission cousins) say it, but we really do look up to you. You helped bring the entire family together and if Mama was with us, I just know he would be telling you how proud of you he was. When I talked to Sim on the phone a couple of days ago, I told him the only other person I knew with a heart as big as my Mama's was you - I honestly believe that.
See you all on Tuesday when we go to Children's Hospital and Canuck Place! And Jason, try your hardest to come out!
Much love,
Karen
