They assembled care packages with hygiene products, gift cards, chocolates and Valentine’s cards beautifully hand-made by Penbrooke Meadows School kids.
The Sikh Community in Calgary raised $5,000 for gifts and these gifts will be given to 25 women most in need. The community has chosen those 25 women who have been domestically abused. Those women were selected who have children and trying to flee hard situations.
