A Lethbridge woman is paying forward the generosity of others
LETHBRIDGE — It all started with something a Lethbridge woman had seen on the internet a number of years ago and she was left thinking, “Why can’t I do that – why can’t I help the homeless, the needy and the forgotten.”
The first year she tried it, Patty Moyer collected about a dozen purses, filled them up on her own with small toiletry items, scarves and gloves.
“I went down town and I just handed them out to homeless ladies, and then it escalated from there.”
“All throughout the year, my daughter, Tanya Cameron, and I scour the second had stores – we purchase purses and backpacks that are in good condition – then around about September I start advertising on Facebook to get the word out and the donations start to pile in.”
