It’s that time of year, the holidays and all, when you either love it or could leave it! For some whose quality of life is not an acceptable or desirable standard whether for health reasons, financial status, the loss of a loved one or abusive relationships, it is difficult to achieve a state of happy and cheerful. For those in just such a state, remaining cheery while watching others around them who are happy and have so much; to speak of good times, laughter, great gifts and an abundance of food and cheer can lead to further feelings of despair. Unfortunately, we often forget how much we do have, how fortunate we are while wishing for more or better.
Why not make the holidays a time to remember and remind others these are times for giving, sharing and helping others. Lending a helping hand to anyone at all, whether or not they are less fortunate then oneself. Reminding ourselves how fortunate we are to have what we do have rather than what we don’t have can be the start to getting into the spirit of the holiday season. Smiling and opening a door for someone and/or wishing them well, will be the link that strengthens the chain; causing a reaction of cheer and raising the holiday spirit in all.
Wishing others well, reminds me of a show I watched recently (a true story) of an eight year old boy Tommy who was dealing with a horrible disease (lymphoma) cancer of the lymph nodes. Tommy was a happy child despite his illness. He made the most of every moment he had; laughing and playing with family and friends. Tommy was asked, “If you could have just one wish, what would you wish for?” Tommy replied, “I wish that my mom wouldn’t be sad.” An incredibly selfless request made by a child who will never have the opportunity to grow up, a child who could teach us so much.
Dial One Wolfedale Electric (one of Ontario’s largest non union, Design Build/Construction and Service Electrical Contractors) and team spread the cheer every day. Wolfedale continues their involvement in numerous community, and charity fund raising campaigns reaching out to those in need all year. In September of this year (2011) this widely diversified electrical contractor raised the bar once again with their fund raising auction for Starlight Children’s Foundation of Canada http://www.starlightcanada.ca/. Wolfedale Electric (a one stop shop electrical contractor) with the help and support of suppliers/partners and customers reached deep into their pockets raising $3,500.00 for the foundation. The funds raised were given to 15-year-old Kayla, who is suffering from Systemic Lupus Erythematous. Kayla undergoes daily challenges because of her health condition and Wolfedale Electric is honoured to assist her and her family by providing a brief escape from her disease.
Once again with the cold weather and holiday season nearing, Dial One Wolfedale Electric was found sponsoring a food drive for the Mississauga Food Bank, raising over 600lbs of food for those less fortunate. As well Wolfedale Electric left no stones unturned with their efforts in sponsoring a winter clothing/coat and blanket drive. Bounties of new and gently used items were raised by none other than the Innovative Wolfedale team (specializing in Industrial/Material Handling and Planned Maintenance) and received appreciatively by New Circles in Toronto http://www.newcircles.ca/.
Dial One Wolfedale Electric Gives You the Power to: help yourself - help others! What are you doing to make a difference?
