Acts of kindness for Veterans and First Responders and Service dog funding support These are everyday heroes – correctional officers, peace/police officers, firefighters, paramedics, nurses, 9-1-1 operators and members of the military; those committed to serving their communities and Canadians. Too often there are times when these everyday heroes could use some extra kindness in their day, particularly in the face of a diagnosis of an Operational/ Occupational Stress Injury (OSI), post-traumatic stress disorder or other mental health challenges. Acting as a conduit, we deliver the collective kindness of OUR awesome community, to our heroes in need.
