I am a very proud momma. My son just celebrated his 6th birthday and he got a lot at Christmas this year and was acting very selfish so we had a talk and we decided that instead of gifts he would ask for donations for a charity of his choice. I gave him a choice between a womens shelter, the Stollery Childrens Hospital and the Humane Society. He chose the Stollery. We sent out the invites and called the Stollery and got it all arranged and made sure he was still ok with how we were doing it and he was. The big day came and we raised $180 at the party. At this time I am unsure of what we raised in online donations but when we get a total they will put together a giant check for my son to present with a photo op. He is pretty excited about this. I am too. I hope to be able to carry on the tradition and teach him more about giving back to others. He is an amazing kid and I am a very proud momma!
