Name: Cathy O'Connor Email: [email protected] Location: Victoria, BC Company: None Website: In lieu of a website (mine provides food allergy information for parents of kids with food allergies), I'll provide my Twitter link. You'll have to request to follow me if you want to read it though, because my account is set to "protected" status. My Twitter account: http://twitter.com/dustypupvi Address: 548 Cairndale Road, Victoria, BC V9C 2P9 Phone: 250-391-4700 My awesome shit: I'm a mom. Big deal right? There are lots of us. I'm the mom of a kid with food allergies. Lots of those too, hey? Yeah, and it's really expensive and challenging to find good-tasting shit for a 12 year old who can die from eating milk or egg. We do okay. The kid does okay too. But are there other kids or adults like this who have to use the food bank? I bet there are. With $600, do you know how much awesome specialty shit I could buy for The Mustard Seed Food Bank for people who rely on that for their food? Those people aren't buying the $3.00 specialty dairy free chocolate bars from Lifestyle Market, that I get for my kiddo! Bet they'd love a treat like that, hey? Who wouldn't? Treats for people who never get 'em...it's all good! :) So let's do it! Thank you for the opportunity! My bio: I'm a business grad with a major in accounting. I have two girls, ages 10 and 12. I love people. No. Really. I do! I especially love the people who have nothing, who struggle every day, who deserve a little bit of hope. I've had a rough past few years. Personal, nasty marital stuff. When life sucks, the best medicine is doing something good for other people. Yeah, it works! I don't work right now (stayed home with my two girls), but I am wanting to now. [snip - edited by TB] I think of all the awesome shit I could do for others if I could think straight each day and not worry all the time. It'd be good! :) So there it is...my heart on my sleeve and no time to proof read! Regards, Cathy O'Connor
