I have no idea who to address to express my appreciation for what showed up at my door today. To have a totally complete meal brought to me as an extraordinary gift is more than I could ever imagine. I want you all to know that although I have a bit of family, I am the only one who lives in Montreal and between Covid and for other reasons visitors are scarce. I have also had to face several health issues over the last few months and the many blessings that I have had are all from Cummings Centre. I have been lucky enough to have the services of ATASE from time to time and regular ongoing appointments with Jeannette from Social Services. The arrival of my incredible surprise package is the equivalent of the Cherry on top of the unbelievably tasty Sundae. There are not enough words in any language to describe my gratitude. May everyone receive unlimited blessings for the work that you do and for the numerous hearts that you touch. Thank you, thank you and then some.
