As gratifying as it is to have these comments directed to me because I’m doing the reporting, I want to emphasize that this is a TEAM effort of many, many women in Grannies à Gogo in the Vernon area, now boosted by Kelowna’s Gifts to Grandmothers, and especially through the dedication of Rev. Ginny Cormack. It is the individual efforts of people contributing their time, skills, or donations (thank you, Nikki, for your garage sale profits coming from Texas!) that make this project successful.
With humungous gratitude,
Susan

How incredible it would be for them to have their own building and such a sense of ownership. Imagine, to have come from such devestation – the loss of their own children and the added burden of caring for their grandchildren in thier old age, and now life has so much more meaning. What an incredible gift! Such a difference people can make when they care about other people. I just can’t say enough, Susan; I’m so proud of you!

Much love,
Jeanne-Ann

I’ve been enchanted by the Grannies since you introduced me to them this past summer. I have so enjoyed these glimpses your blogs are providing us all. With each installment I am amazed by the bounty of their spirit, even in the face of their losses. We have so much that we often don’t appreciate, and I’d love the chance to share what I have with them. I’m in the process of sorting the excesses of my life and in the spring I’m planning to have a garage sale for them. I’d love that opportunity to pass on money made from this sale to benefit the Grannies in any way that they choose.
Thank you for all your work in sharing these beautiful spirits with us!
