Many of us have no idea what it's like to live without a safe home and clean water.
I started this fundraising campaign so that I, together with LiveDifferent, can make a difference for a family. LiveDifferent partners with local communities and families in the Dominican Republic, responsibly bringing volunteers and families together to share the experience of building a home.
I am very excited to be going back to the Dominican Republic to take part in another build in the same community I was fortunate enough to build in last year. To see first hand how much impact we as volunteers can have on the lives of families living there is something I will carry close to my heart always. I went down with the intent to build a home and be a part of something bigger than myself but had no idea how much of an impact the community would have on me. Physically, emotionally and spiritually. I went down to help give families a home, and came back home with gifts from them that are immeasurable on my heart and in my mind. On my flight back home, I knew that it was not a matter of "if" I went back, but a matter of "when".

LiveDifferent was established as a Canadian charity in 2000 (BN: 86123 2890 RR0001), and began to operate internationally in 2005.
From the very beginning we have been passionate about making a difference in the lives of the people we encounter through our youth empowerment presentations, our humanitarian build programs, and our leadership development opportunities.
Over the past 16 years we have had the opportunity to speak to over 1.2 million students, to build over 500 homes, schools, and other projects, and to mentor over 4,500 students, interns, and volunteers.
Our Builds program provides opportunities to volunteer in Mexico, the Dominican Republic and Haiti. We host trips for Boston Pizza, WestJet and Big Brothers Big Sisters, as well as many other schools and community groups annually.
