It has always been my practice to give in meaningful ways where the impact is direct and local. My focus of charitable gifting this year is
Kidsport Victoria. Not many people realize that at one point I was a single parent. Not surprisingly my finances were super tight -- Kidsport Victoria was an organization that helped make sure my kids could continue with sports through a critical time for us as a family.
Never in my life would I have imagined that something like a child participating in sports would be a challenge due to world events. Now more than ever, healthy physical and emotional development are even more important. As a Mom I had the mantra “One sport - One character development” and even though my kids are all in their twenties, this is no less relevant to me today when it comes to families in my community.
As a trusted legal professional in my community, and from personal experience with this charity, I am shining a light on an organization that truly makes a difference to children and their families.
If you’re uncertain about some way to help, then Kidsport Victoria is a worthy local organization.
