Hard Work Has Its Rewards.

Over the years it's become apparent that hard work pays off and that working hard comes with it's rewards.

Last week I was presented with a generous gift for the volunteer work I've been doing at Macdonald Youth Services (MYS). I was beyond shocked and just overly grateful for the gift. It was so unexpected. I love volunteering at MYS. I think that the work they are doing to help the homeless youth of Winnipeg get off the streets and help them build a better life for themselves. I first learned about MYS when I went there for my three-week work placement through school helping them with their brochures and donor highlights for their Capital Campaign newsletter. I was so lucky to have been there that I continued volunteering my time as I believe in what they do so much.

I love what I'm doing and I never expected anything from MYS, so when I was presented with tickets to The Winnipeg Jets game last Saturday, I just couldn't believe it. It just meant so much to me that my work was appreciated that much.

It was so much fun going to the game and the seats were amazing. It was disappointing that the Jets lost but I'll always remember the experience and the reason I was there.

MYS is truly an exceptional place with amazing staff who not only take care of the homeless youth of Winnipeg but their staff and volunteers.

I'm so grateful to have the opportunity to work with such an amazing team.
