Monthly Donor

As a teen I used facilities similar to YESS in Calgary. It is through services like these that I was able to build my life so it is time for me to give back to help other teens. Thank you for the services you provide for these kids to help them find the second chance they so desperately deserve!

I grew up in a loving environment, I have an incredible family and group of friends, and am never left wanting for food, health care, shelter, clothing, or love. It matters a great deal to me that these things are available to every person, no matter who they are or where they come from.

I have children. They are fortunate to be living in a loving, stable home. Not all youth have this luxury. If I can help one child that would be most satisfying for me.

It’s my impression there are generally less services available for teens. I wanted my philanthropic dollars to have an impact for an underserved group.

In the present economic conditions, grants and other funding are not easy to come by, so we decided to donate monthly instead of giving at different times of the year. This way YESS knows that exact amounts they will have to work with.
