Dear Robert, Addie and Don, Jan and Al:

Congratulations on the great success of Ideal-Way’s first charitable event!

Your creativity, generosity, and fine organization were outstanding. By bringing together practical material goods and making them readily available at no charge, you made many needy people very happy. Within your project, you also offered individuals the empowering opportunity to make their own choices.

Ideal-way is a very exciting concept and a much appreciated service to the intellectually disabled adults of Etobicoke.

Thank you very much for your dedication and wonderful contribution.

Sincerely yours,

Joan Karout

On behalf of the Etobicoke/York Regional Council

Since Ideal began I have felt excited and believe God has asked us to be part of his plan. This makes me feel really good. I feel good to be part of something I think is so important and because I have an intellectual disability it helps me to feel excepted which I don’t always feel by others. When we hold an event I have trouble sleeping for a week before because I am so excited. When I go to these events I see I am luckier than some others with a disability so am glad to try to help them. If I can have fun doing it. We are a good team and cheer each other on because we want the best for some that have only a little. I see a lot of smiles and love from the people we try and help which makes me very happy. Everybody should try helping somebody out because everybody need to see how happy you can make them.

Dear Addie:

I want to thank you for the wonderful Ideal-Way event on Sunday. Everyone walked away with a big smile and an even bigger bag of wonderful items. I know that no one has ever experienced an event like your give away. They have never gone somewhere where people encouraged them to take what they needed without paying. Your volunteers were so nice and always positive. The volunteers went out of their way to be so very helpful and made everyone feel special. Everyone enjoyed the lunch as it gave them an opportunity to socialize and take rest. It is very seldom that you get to shop and eat for free! Even after the event people have been talking about how nice it was to have a give-away and I know that your kindness has meant a lot. As you know all the people I work with are very poor, many live on less then $11,00 a year and after paying for rent and food they have very little to buy the “extras” you need to live. Your give away gave them a chance to get some new clothes, items for the kitchen and for their homes. A lot of these items they would go without because they can’t afford to buy them. When you go without for so long it is nice to be treated so well and to be given an opportunity to get some nice things for free. Please thank everyone involved in your event you have made so many people happy. Keep up the good work.

Sincerely,

I went to Ideal-Way with my family. I got new shoes, I needed them. My family got new furniture, a couch and chair. It’s nice and comfortable. We had lunch. It was good food!

Thanks so much, Ideal-Way.

“It was wonderful seeing people receive items that they could use and needed.

We should be thankful for Ideal-Way filling a void created by poverty,”

said Harold T. a support worker.

Hi Robert,

Thank you very much for bringing your wonderful message to Scarborough Bluffs on Wednesday night. Everyone was very moved by your presentation and that you were doing it for the first time. Well done! I will print the pictures Don sent and put them on the bulletin board on Sunday for everyone to see. Now you are famous in this part of the world! Keep up the good work.

Sincerely,
Phyllis
