Help Rosa raise money

大家好！又到咗一年一度我向各位呼籲支持我參加「主與我同行」步行籌款嘅時候！📣

今年同往年特別不同之處，在於我哋今次係為一個非常之趕急嘅原因籌款。過往咁多年，「主與我同行」籌嘅款項都係為《生命恩泉》營運經費。而今年多倫多「主與我同行」籌嘅係為咗《生命恩泉》購置永久會址🏠！更多詳情：https://fll.cc/newhome

我想喺度同大家分享一下我——作為2005年其中一個心口掛住「勇」字參加電視製作嘅當年年青人——喺呢個歷史性時刻嘅感想💭。

當年開始度故仔點拍，大組嘅話就靠喺堂區借間房，細組嘅話就靠喺隊友屋企開會。最初諗緊拍幾部機廠景，係將一啲義工自己油顏色嘅木panel搬去聖堂嘅房，去製造"有佈景"嘅幻象🙃。

到開始租office，嗰種興奮嘅程度真係難以形容。我記得我曾經車一位已故跳舞老師去睇嗰個地方。大家對終於有地方落腳呢件事係幾咁自豪😆。

呢張FLL招牌相，係我喺我Facebook搵到嘅，係2010年10月20日影嘅。話說當時我同我嘅舊同事兼老死日日carpool入Mississauga返工，問准咗可以喺FLL泊低架車，有一日(搬入去接近一年後)發現終於有招牌🤩！開心到要即刻影相post上Facebook！(招牌好似仲喺度，舊業主好似仲未租得出。)

多年嚟，都有過一啲人慕名而來，想睇吓我哋個錄影廠係點樣👀，上到嚟先發現，原來係個多用途地方，開飯又喺度，開彌撒又喺度，平時圍圈聚會又喺度。咁樣當然都拍到嘢，但setup完啲嘢成日要拆其實都辛苦，亦會用多咗時間。

到疫情期間，由於網絡問題，每次要做直播都要去書舍本來用嚟擺貨嘅位置度做直播，地方好細，想搵多個位坐吓都無。

18年搬4次，每搬一次都好攰... 感謝天主終於俾我哋搵到個合適嘅地方😇，好希望大家支持《生命恩泉》購置呢個會址，讓我哋真係可以有一個安定嘅家。無限感激，天主保佑🙏🏼

Hello everyone! It's that time of year again when I appeal to all of you for support in my participation in the "Walk with God" fundraising event! 📣

What makes this year different from previous years is that we are raising funds for a very urgent cause. In the past, the funds raised for "Walk with God" have always been for the operational expenses of Fountain of Love and Life. But this year, the funds raised in Toronto for "Walk with God" are specifically for the acquisition of a permanent location for FLL! More details: https://communication.fll.cc/newhome2023-home-e

I would like to share with all of you here my thoughts on this historic moment, as someone who participated in television production back in 2005.

When we started filming back then, we relied on borrowing rooms in the parish for big team meetings, while the smaller teams would hold meetings at the homes of team members. When we started exploring multi-cam productions, we would move wooden panels painted by volunteers to film in a room in the parish to create the illusion of a "set" 🙃.

Then came the excitement of renting an office, and it's hard to express the level of excitement at that time. I remember driving a late dance teacher to see the place. We were all so proud to finally have a place to call home 😆.

This photo of the FLL sign is one that I found on my Facebook. It was taken on October 20, 2010. Back then, I used to carpool with my buddy/former co-worker and we would commute to Mississauga for work every day. I sought permission to park my car at FLL and one day (almost a year after moving in), we finally saw the sign 🤩! I was so happy that I immediately took a photo and posted it on Facebook! (The sign still seemed to be there, the landlord hadn't rented it out yet.)

Over the years, some people came because they were curious to see our recording studio and see what it looked like 👀. When they arrived, they realized it was a multi-purpose space. We had meals there, held Mass there, and had regular gatherings there. Of course, we managed to capture a lot of things in this setup, but it was actually laborious to set up and dismantle everything, and it took more time.

During the pandemic, due to internet issues, we had to go to the area in the bookstore that was originally used for storage every time we needed to do a livestream. The space was very small, and there was no room to find additional seating.

We moved four times in 18 years, and each move was exhausting... We are grateful to God for finally leading us to a suitable place 😇. We sincerely hope that everyone can support the acquisition of this location for FLL, so that we can truly have a stable home. We are immensely grateful, and may God bless us 🙏🏼.
