Help Stories
A Little Help Goes a Long Way to Giving Hope
Over the past 13 years, we have helped thousands of children and youth to stay included through modest financial Helps.
Types of Support
We support a broad range of requests and want to provide Helps where they are needed. As a guide, here are some of the main categories of Helps.
Sports & Equipment
From team fees to equipment, we want to help keep you playing the sport you love.
Arts & Music
Keep creating with art supplies, instrument rentals, and music festivals costs covered.
School & Education

Personal Growth
Your development matters. We fund course, hygiene needs, and a wide variety of personal growth needs for individual success.
Community & Culture
Stay active in the community by attending and participating in events. We are here to help you do it.
Help One Creates a Space to Ask For Help With Anonymity and Dignity
Asking for help takes courage.
The individuals we provide with Helps receive anonymous support. The Help Stories we share are to inspire the community to look out for each other and ask for help when we see a need.

Eyeglasses for School Participation
One of my students needs glasses, and supplementary health will not cover the fee due to the type of lenses needed/prescription. They need glasses to participate fully at school and be their best self.
Getting Inspired in Community
There is a women's Conference that cost $315 to attend. It's a full day event where we get to listen to speakers go in small groups and just enjoy being around strong Indigenous women.
Staying in The Sport I Love
I play on the Boys Premier basketball team at my high school. My family is not able to pay the team fees for my season. I would greatly appreciate funding to help support me in playing a sport I love. Thank you for your consideration.
Starting Something New
I have a job offer but I need to get some stuff in order to begin. I need appropriate pants and white top, black work shoes and a bus pass to get to and from work. I am hoping to start saving money to get my own vehicle and this job will help me a lot.
Transportation To School
I am going back to school for the new quarter tomorrow but I don’t have a bus pass and it’s a long walk. I am asking for $75 to get a card for the month of February.
Starting Something New
I am seeking assistance to help pay the deposit on my graduation dress in the amount of $360 so it can be ordered and I don't have to stress out about getting the dress. I'd like to participate in grad. Thank you.
