Leamington teen helping neighbours, hospital

By Mark Ribble

LEAMINGTON — Local teenager Eric Dominguez has come up with a way to help his community and also help the Erie Shores Health Foundation.

Last year, Eric went throughout his neighbourhood, shoveling snow for anyone who needed it. Although he didn’t charge for it, most of the neighbours gave him a tip for helping them out.

This year, armed with his shovel and a will to help the local hospital, the 19-year-old decided to for- ward any donations to the Health Foundation.

He’s taken on the moniker of ‘Leamington’s Little Helper’ and will shovel driveways and walkways for donations, which will all go to the Erie Shores Health Foundation.

The Leamington’s Little Helper initiative doesn’t end with shoveling, however. Eric explained that it’s his nature to be helpful within his community.

“I have a dream to help as many people as I can in Leamington” he says. “I’m 100 per cent focused on the shoveling right now, but I have a long term goal to bring smiles to our community.”

If you’d like your driveway or walkway shoveled and you live anywhere in Leamington, Eric would be happy to help you out and — in turn — help out the local hospital.
