Xerox Management Team Day 1

We had our first group of Volunteers come out today for our Rent a Day Fund Raiser. It was a group of wonderful people from the management team at Xerox.

I greeted the workers as they arrived on site they seemed anxious to get started. I left them to do their work. As I arrived around 3:30 to see the progress and get some footage from the day, I was amazed at the amount of work they were able to accomplished in such a short time. Of course, I am sure it was a long 6hrs for them. They did a lot of shovelling and heavy work finished the basement floor. I wish I would have been there to get some footage of that, I was told everyone was covered in dirt. Then they put the basement ceiling up, so we have a floor on the second level. I know there is a lot more to it however, as I am sure you can all tell. I have absolutely no knowledge of building a home. It looks wonderful. As I brought the kids up at the end of the day they let out a loud “WOW” They were surprised to see all the people working on building a home for us to live in. I want you all to know how much we appreciate your hard work today. I hope you all were able to go home and take a long hot bath and relax.

We were on CBC today.

Today they made the forms for the cement foundation walls.

This morning Gary Mittelholtz from CBC News interviewed Tim Ryan (chairman of the board), John Ives Boudreau (Project manager), My son Scott, daughter Kristyanna and myself in front of the Build Site at 17 Saint Andrews Street. This was very exciting for the children and I.

We Broke Ground Today!!

Today was an amazing day. We broke ground. Finally!! I couldn’t be happier. The children and I went to the site to see the progress, as we will at the end of each day. We got so excited to see that this is really happening. I have never been so excited to see a hole in the mud. Lol Children don’t fully understand something like this until they see it happen with their own eyes. (To tell you the truth I didn’t believe it myself until today.) Today, we start to believe.
Yesterday it was just a dream and today that dream has become a reality for the children and Myself. The first day is finally here.

Thank you to all the companies, and volunteers on site today. Great Job Guys!
