Welcome to Catherine's (not) BIG 6-0 Birthday Celebration!

Donate Now
Hi Everyone!

 

As you may know, my ‘big 6-0’ is just around the corner, and, in ‘normal’ times, I’d be planning a party, to which you’d be invited!

Given that these are not ‘normal’ times, I’ve decided to turn my birthday party into a fundraiser for Compassion. I’m doing this to bring much needed relief to children and families living in poverty who have been severely impacted by COVID-19. Will you please join me in the fight against poverty and hopelessness?

I’ve been involved with Compassion for almost six years and have had the privilege of visiting my sponsored child, Ana, at her home in El Salvador, twice. There, I was able to witness first-hand the wonderful work Compassion does at the community level. Here at home, I volunteer several times each year at Compassion events, raising awareness of Compassion and signing up child sponsors. 

I'm hoping to help bring much-needed relief to children and families living in poverty who have been impacted by COVID-19.  And I'd like to invite you along in the journey! 

 

Did you know that this crisis has the potential to undo at least 30 years of progress toward poverty alleviation in developing countries? 
This prediction is heartbreaking. Together with your support, I am partnering with Compassion to equip the local church across the globe to provide immediate relief to the most vulnerable communities among us. Through the COVID-19 relief gifts featured in the Gifts of Compassion gift guide, Compassion is seeking to help restore what COVID-19 has destroyed through urgent provision of critical needs like:
 
  • Emergency Food Packs - Provides families with food packs that include essentials like rice, oils, oats, milk, corn and meat every day for two months.
  • Hygiene Kits - Provides families with items to keep them healthy like face masks, gloves, soap, disinfectant, cleaning products and sanitary items for women.
  • Rent Assistance - Helps cover rent for those who cannot otherwise stay in their homes because of loss of work.
  • Home Reconstruction - Helps reconstruct and furnish a three-bedroom home for a family who has lost theirs in the midst of a global pandemic.
 
Will you join me in helping restore what COVID-19 has destroyed for those in poverty?

Rated one of Canada’s Highest Rated Charities by Canada’s charity watchdog, Compassion Canada is committed to handling the finances entrusted to us with the utmost integrity. This year, 84.4 per cent of funds were used for program activities benefiting the children we serve, and 15.6 per cent for operating expenses.
