Calgary is known for being resilient, community-focused and generous. Let's come together and help those who need it most in the wake of COVID-19.
In these unsettling times, some people are left without income due to the economic downfall and business closures. Think daycare workers, restaurant employees, hospitality staff and many others who are about to face financial distress. There is not a single person reading this who will not know someone that is being financially impacted by this pandemic.
Inspired by Jersey City's movement started by team GREYLAYERS, the AGLIMPSEOFMARIA team is calling on all Calgarians who have the ability to extend a helping hand. We are raising funds in hopes to split the final amount among local qualified individuals. We are hoping to present as many $500 cheques as we can, contingent on the final amount raised.
Who qualifies?
· A Calgarian who recently lost employment due to a business closure as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic
· A Calgarian who is an hourly worker that has been temporarily laid off/not receiving shifts due to closures or modified hours.
· To nominate yourself or someone you know, please complete this Nomination Form .
What are the details?
· The fundraiser will close on Wednesday, April 8 at midnight.
· We will contact employers to confirm that the individuals nominated are not receiving shifts due to closures/modified hours.
· The approved individuals will be contacted directly by team AGLIMPSEOFMARIA.
How can I help?
· Donate an amount you are comfortable with.
· If you, or someone you know, qualifies to be a recipient, please complete the Nomination Form.
· Help spread the word with our community using the hashtag #GlimpseofSupport. Please tag @aglimpseofmaria so we can track the movement.
Please email us at: [email redacted] for any inquiries.
