Spectacular Surprise Contest Winners
VHA ended its 90th year with a splash by spreading some holiday spirit to our clients and workers by surprising a total of 17 people with special gifts during the holiday season. We felt a little bad “tricking” the winners (most thought they were being interviewed about their service), but the faces of delight were worth it (and we seemed to be forgiven). Although it was a tough decision, we hope you’ll agree that our winners are deserving.
Below are some of our winners’ stories.
Husna and Jibril:
This lovely couple have four young boys, one of whom has severe Autism. Because of their son’s high care needs, neither can work full-time and, therefore, have limited financial resources. We surprised them with tickets to the Ripley’s Aquarium and a Canadian Tire gift card for them to use on things they need for their home. They were overjoyed and are looking forward to sharing some fun quality time together as a family.
