Many of us have no idea what it's like to live in an impoverished community without a safe home and clean water. In November, my dad and I will be joining other families to continue the amazing work that our friend, Melissa Bazely started many years ago. When I was younger I would speak with Melissa about the builds that she organized and really wanted to be part of this fantastic cause. Now that I am older, I will finally get to experience what Melissa was so passionate about. Sadly, I will not be able to share this experience with Melissa as she lost her battle with cancer in 2021 at the age of 32. Melissa created a charity, Builders for Change; this is who I am fundraising for. I am super excited for the opportunity to spend time with the family we will build alongside while learning all about them and their community. Please donate to my campaign - anything you can give is a huge help.
Why I want to volunteer with LiveDifferent

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.
