I took a fall

HUGE thanks to the kind folks who helped me when I fell off my bike and got a concussion last Tuesday by Coburg Road. Y'all helped me up, called the ambulance and got my bike in a safe place while I was being taken care of.

Garbage Collectors Are Great

The rules state that I am allowed two bulky items but I had three: A mattress/box spring, a dresser and bookshelf. I put them all out figuring what the heck, and that if something was left I would just move it and put it out again the next time.

Caring so well

To all the nurses and doctors who work at a local children's hospital the weekend my daughter was admitted for her asthma attack. (May long weekend) You all were so kind, we end up there almost every year due to a flu bug that causes her asthma to act up.

Great Samaritans

My Honda Civic died at the gas station on Pleasant Street, and you two kind human beings took time out of your no doubt full and happy lives to help me. Even though it didn't work and we couldn't get the car to start, we fist-bumped and parted ways. N and B (and B's very patient young sons), we all entered that parking lot alone, but we briefly became a team.

To the airline agent yesterday

Thank you for booking my flight without charge, thank you for understanding how my ADHD makes it hard to manage time, thank you for the tissues and empathy. I hope you know how much stress that prevented.

Scotia Square saviour

To the lovely lady who stopped me from falling on my face outside of Scotia Square...thank you! I was wearing heels in the middle of a day full of interviews and started falling towards the huge pile of slush.

Found your keys!

I found your keys in the slushy side of the road on Spring Garden across from Indochine today, January 23 at approximately 4:30 pm. The ring had notable keys on it, including a vintage Honda motorcycle key, a black bike lock key, and a U-Haul padlock key, along with several others.

Health care

Awesome. With all the complaining about our health care here is a story of excellence.

Thank you for helping me!

After being hit by a car on my scooter, a very nice man was the first to jump out of his car and offer assistance. Sir—you had to leave because of your kids in the car, but you will always be my hero.

Working mom/budding entrepreneur

About five years ago I was a single mother on assistance having a bad day after having my caseworker tell me they would not support my daycare expenses or provide me with any personal financial support if I chose to go back to school instead of working at a minimum wage job. So, I took my frustrations to LTWWB and was surprised at how many people gave me a pat on the back, some words of encouragement and told me to keep pushing.
