A practical delivery

A little breathing room for Deborah and Ruthie

Deborah is a working artist and single mother raising her six-year-old daughter, Ruthie. Alongside her art practice, Deborah works part-time, but making ends meet can still be difficult.

A supporter in California purchased shelf-stable food and basic household supplies from the family's Amazon.ca wishlist and had them delivered directly to her home.

Deborah said she was deeply grateful for the practical assistance.
