It's so important to me to give back to my community. This is where I've been helping incredible people buy and sell real estate for over a decade. More important, this is where I'm choosing to live, and choosing to raise my family.
​
Giving my time and money towards important causes and charities around the region is one of the ways I strive to make this community an incredible play to live.
​
Here's a few of the causes I choose to support.
​
House of Friendship
​
The House of Friendship offers help and hope to over 42,000 moms, dads, adults and children across Waterloo Region, focusing on 4 key areas:
-
Addiction treatment
-
Food
-
Housing
-
Neighbourhoods
​
My parents instilled in me from a very young age that being rooted in service is a very important role to play in this world. When I started volunteering with the House of Friendship with the Emergency Hamper Program it felt good to feel like I was making a small impact. There are people in the region we live in that can't afford to eat. It is very important to me that this need not go unnoticed. A portion of my time or financial resources will always support this community.

Safe Haven
​
Safe Haven Care Center is a humanitarian organization dedicated to investing in orphaned and abandoned children in Africa, so they may reach their full potential as contributing members of society and leaders in their community.
​
They identify, develop and implement lasting solutions & resources to break the cycle of poverty, suffering and isolation for orphaned and abandoned children in co-operation with local organizations and leaders in the community. To accomplish this they have implemented the following objectives:
​
-
Provide the children with ongoing comprehensive care & support in a loving, nurturing family-style setting
-
Cultivate long term co-operation with members of the surrounding community in order to support/work with the children during their stay at the centre and after they have graduated from care
-
Collaborate with like-minded local organizations to create opportunities for the childrens' growth
-
Operate with transparency and integrity
​
After I sold Jeff and Sonya's house they mentioned this incredible organization that they run and I knew in my heart I needed to be involved. I am a Board Member of the charity and also run regular events and fundraisers to support the children.
