I would like to pay tribute to my daughter’s Grade 4 teacher as well as the mothers of the students in her class at Pickering Christian School in Ajax, ON.Â
I was diagnosed with invasive breast cancer for the second time in August 2008 and had my first of 6 chemotherapy treatments in January 2009. Being a small school I am acquainted with a few of the moms but not many. When the teacher heard about my illness she asked the “class mom” to ask the parents to consider helping our family in a practical way. They responded with such generosity both in spirit and in time by making us batches and batches of homemade soup, homemade bread and baking for our kids. Not only did they do it once, but 3 separate times over the course of my treatment.  The soup was great and something I could eat when recovering from my chemo. These women took time out of their busy lives and families to bless us in a very practical and yummy way.
Sincerely,
Julia Wormington
