In December 2017, the founder of The OFC reached out The SHO to tell us about a single-parent-scholar who was having trouble feeding herself and her child. The Montreal community came together and this is what we were able to contribute to her:

• $400
• Meal-replacement beverages
• Multivitamins for 6 months
• Meal-prep for 1 week (courtesy of One-Stop Catering)
• Free Hair Appointment (courtesy of Stacie Merriman Hair)
• Bus-pass sponsored for 1-year (courtesy of Janice Small-Wright who is the founder of Rip the Runway Montreal: Fashion for a Cause)

The single-parent-scholar was so grateful for everything that she received, and it brought so much joy to her heart… To witness these acts of kindness from the community was a blessing to all…

The SHO will be “adopting” a single-parent-scholar for the holidays annually… To be considered, single-parent-scholars must be:

• single
• enrolled in full-time studies
• “nominated” by a non-family member
• in financial distress

The nomination period will always begin the last week of November…

Thank you so much to all of the individuals who contributed towards The SHO’s 2017 “Adopt” a Single-Parent-Scholar for the Holidays Program!
