I chose YSM because I was moved by this organization’s mandate to serve the city of Toronto – our communities, and our people – the people we pass by everyday. Generally, I believe that the money we occasionally pass on directly to the underprivileged will not significantly alter their lives. Rather, a capable infrastructure, support and education, follow-up and most importantly, hope, are crucial in changing these lives in relevant ways.

“[The] organization’s mandate
[is] to serve the city of Toronto –
its communities, and its people,
people we pass by everyday.”

I identify with this type of offering at YSM and am grateful for the opportunity to provide resources to support its mission. Further, I was also attracted to this organization’s desire to improve and utilize best practices to more effectively and efficiently reach the people they serve, while partnering with enterprises, organizations and volunteers - both embracing and involving all the people that make up Toronto.

I have decided to forward the donation to the Yonge Street Mission. This is an organization grounded in helping street kids and young adults with food, clothing, medicine, shelter and skills improvement. I will also be supporting this organization personally so BWI’s donation will have a greater impact.
