COVID-19 has changed everything. Yet, one constant has been the DI being fueled by kindness. During this pandemic, incredible support has been shown to us on behalf of our donors and supporters. We wanted to share a special thank you to some of our large-scale donations since March 2020.

Thank you Lexus of Calgary and Lexus of Royal Oak:
