If doors could talk

It’s not every day that you read a letter from a door, right?

There’s that expression – if walls could speak, oh the stories they would tell! – well… I’ve got stories too!

I’ve been a part of The Cridge Centre since the beginning. I welcomed Edward and Mary Cridge during the construction of our building in 1891. I opened to receive the first children and staff who stayed here. I watched our community grow from Fort Victoria to the city we are today. I was here when we transitioned from being an orphanage to being a multi-service organization that serves over 2400 people a year.

I’ve seen the broken hearted limp through our door, I’ve seen the passion and commitment of people determined to make this world a better place.

You could say that I’ve seen it all!

What a legacy of care in our community! Truly we are restoring hope and building community –every day for 150 years!

Now THAT is something to get excited about!

You could be an important part of that legacy of care – your support can make so many things possible! Have you considered making a donation that will make an impact on our community for the next 150 years?

I’ve welcomed people just like you who made a life-changing, life-giving gift. Will you be next?

My friend, Joanne, would be happy to chat with you about how your gift can continue to restore hope and build our community. 250 995 6419 or jlinka@cridge.org
