Helpful hands Caring so well
Posted By Team Coast on Mon, Jun 11, 2018 at 12:00 PM
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. You treat her like she was your own. Thank you for making a stressful time less stressful. —A Grateful Mom

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. What could have been really isolating and terrible for me was made so much better because of your kindness and good humour. By the way, we were on the right track trying to jump the battery...it ended up being the alternator! Thanks again—you two are the BEST! —R

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. —Scatter Brain (But Working On It)

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. You caught my arm and helped me up and then proceeded to walk across the street with me to make sure I didn't fall. I really appreciated your kindness and care in the middle of a stressful day. —Stressed in Stilettos

Helpful hands Found your keys!
Posted By Team Coast on Thu, Jan 25, 2018 at 12:00 PM
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. I turned the keys in to lost and found at the Lord Nelson, so if they were yours, there you go. Good luck! —Karma Patrol

Helpful hands Health care
Posted By Team Coast on Wed, Dec 6, 2017 at 12:25 PM
Awesome. With all the complaining about our health care here is a story of excellence. On Wednesday afternoon I arrive for an MRI X-ray after stepping off the elevator went directly to the desk was checked in, than told to go further down the hall and wait, once there I was directed to change into the usual clothing and again wait, a lady than came out and took me into the room for the X-ray, after I was done and leaving and walking past the first desk and onto the elevator, a total of 17 minutes, that’s faster than the drive thru coffee shop, so congratulations for our health care. —Lover

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. Thank you so much. —Scooter Girl

Helpful hands Working mom/budding entrepreneur
Posted By Team Coast on Fri, Jun 30, 2017 at 12:00 PM
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. I went back to school using high interest bank loans, graduated with honours, won two awards related to contributing to my community, got two job offers the day I graduated and have worked every day since in a wonderful and rewarding career. I've just paid off the last of my loans and now want to test myself again, I want to build a business of my own.
Unfortunately I've never had the opportunity to buy a real computer because it falls into the "frivolous expenditure" column of my financial situation, so I'm posting this hoping that maybe this community can be my lifeline—that maybe some like-minded soul who also clawed their way into a normal, prosperous existence has an old laptop or desktop that is obsolete for their uses but could be a lifeline to me in creating a thriving business. I would be more than happy to repay the cost of the computer in administrative or clerical work.
Thank you for taking the time to read this. —Aspiring business owner

Huge shout-out and thanks to the team from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints helping stranded drivers. I was heading on to the Bedford highway from the MacKay Bridge when I got stuck in the snow the plow left between lanes. Cars were whizzing past me on both sides. I wasn't there three minutes when a truck pulled up and four guys with shovels hopped out. They shoveled and pushed me out. Way to live your beliefs by helping strangers in need on a snow day! Thank you so much. —Stranded driver
