I have had the most extraordinary month.  I have not worked this hard, this many hours since I was 30 years old – and yet I feel invigorated.  I was one of nearly 6,000 volunteers helping clothe Syrian refugees coming to the GTA.  While I participated as one of the drivers of the cause, I have never witnessed the level of empowerment all volunteers felt and acted on to drive this cause forward. In just four weeks, we went from zero to:   Over 30, 000 articles of clothing. Nearly 6,000 active volunteers from getting the word out, donating clothing, to sorting, cleaning, inventory and various business services – there was no ego in this giving. More than 20 media spots through TV, radio, print and internet news. All of the infrastructure required to support a cause of this magnitude. A free storefront open for business, where families can shop for their own clothing in privacy. Over 60 people with starting wardrobes, ready to integrate into their new communities. Thou
