Imade my donation to the Redwood Shelter which is located in Parkdale. It is a place where women with children, primarily below the age of six, can go to escape an abusive relationship. Most of the women who find refuge there have more than one child and they tend to be very young. The Redwood provides shelter, emotional support, a community, job training, and assistance with moving on with their lives. During the Christmas season the Redwood makes a special effort by ensuring the children receive presents in a positive environment.
