Something good from being lazy : CHUMcity

Well people. For anyone still looking here, I made it back to the UK on Monday morning, and am now in the process of re-establishing myself in my office. I have a laptop, and as soon as my gracious Canadian employers see fit to remove me from their records, I will be able to get outlook here. Hurry up Canadians.. you know you want rid of me.

I think i have mentioned several times how lazy I am capable of being. A mass of contradictions as my good friend Scribbles puts it.

Luckily, out of laziness can come some good. For (and this will not surprise Brian or Joe) having been too lazy to do anything with the coins that have been lying round my flat for the last 6 months, my urban angel Amy took responsibility for making sure that something good came of them.

So the $50 that had been built up was passed on to CHUM city, a Toronto childrens charity.

CHUMCity Christmas Wish, in conjunction with City of Toronto Community and Neighbourhood Social Services, helped almost 500 registered agencies, which represented an unprecedented 300,000 children and families in need of assistance. The CHUMCity Christmas Wish has become one of the largest distributors of toys to those in need in the GTA, as well as providing financial assistance to hundreds of agencies. With many funding cuts in recent years, the CHUMCity Christmas Wish has become the last hope for many to give a child a Christmas. With generous financial donations and new unwrapped toys, the CHUMCity Christmas Wish supplies registered charitable organizations, social service agencies, churches, and community centres. In turn, they distribute the donations to those families, of many faiths and cultures, who require support.
