Our Wish List - We need your help - posted August 06, 2010

Our Wish List – We need your help

Recently the staff at the Burnaby office  generated a list of “items” that would help us improve our services and resources for families and communities. (We also thought it would be great to have windows in every room and perhaps a skylight or two but we know those are beyond the possible.) Our funds are limited and very carefully spent so “free”, “donated” and “volunteer” are the operative words. Sometimes sending wishes out to the world can lead to them coming true so here goes in random order:

• Colour printer (or printing) and donated/affordable toner
• Digital camera
• $ 6000 to assist in the development and running of an on line parenting support group that could reach rural and isolated families
• Web designer
• Fundraiser
• Corporate and other benefactors to purchase our wonderful Cooking up Comfort book
• Help with producing a video about our work
• Sponsorship for our Grandparents Raising Grandchildren Support Circles and events.

As our wishes are fulfilled we will let you know. New wishes also may appear so check this list often. Remember, tax receipts are available for donations. Please write to us: office@parentsupportbc.ca
