On behalf of all the women and children at Nellie’s shelter, we wish everyone a Holiday Season as magical as we are having, followed by a New Year of Peace, Joy and Love.
See you in the new year!
Thank you for your incredible response to our urgent appeal
for a new boiler for Nellie’s Shelter!
In less than a day, our incredible community of donors have collectively raised over $12,000 we needed for a new boiler at Nellie’s Shelter!
Thank you to everyone who shared our appeal by twitter, facebook,
blogs, and e-mail.
We are very pleased to report that a new boiler is already
on its way to the shelter!
Thanks to you, the residents of Nellie’s will sleep safe, sound, and warm
tonight and through the winter.
On behalf of everyone at Nellie’s Shelter, thank you for opening up your hearts and truly giving a “Home for the Holidays” for the
women and children in our care.

Thank you to our donors for helping us create a “Home for the Holidays” for the women and children at Nellie’s Shelter.
We urgently need your help! Today, the boiler at Nellie’s Shelter completely broke down!
We must raise over $12,000 over the next few days or we will not be able to heat the shelter over the holidays!
We have nowhere to turn to for replacement of the boiler, as numerous emergency repairs and maintenance at the shelter over the last year has drained our reserve funds.
So we are asking you, our donors, to urgently send a donation now to “Nellie’s Boiler Appeal!”
Please call us at 416-461-0769 or make a donation online here and indicate “Boiler” with your gift.
We place our confidence with you to help us buy a new boiler to ensure that the women and kids at Nellie’s are truly “Home for the Holidays!”
