Here is my story 📝:
In the summer of 2020, when the world felt uncertain and I was finding my footing in a new city as an immigrant, I discovered Hand Up Toronto.
Volunteering during those early days gave me more than just something to do—it offered a sense of belonging and hope, connecting me to a vibrant, caring community when I needed it most.
Since then, I have watched Hand Up Toronto grow and reach even more neighbors in need. This year, I’m proud to rejoin this family, contributing my skills to our website 🚀, organizing fundraising events 🎉, and lending my heart 💛 to every cause we take on.
"Giving back is my way of honoring the kindness I once received."
In my twenties, I ran races to challenge myself—to prove what I could do. Now, I run with a deeper purpose: to lift others and help build a compassionate community 🤗.
Running the Toronto Waterfront Marathon 5K for Hand Up Toronto is my way of turning every step into support for those who need it most.
If you believe in building a stronger, kinder community, I invite you to support our fundraising campaign for Hand Up Toronto — by donating, spreading the word, or joining us as a volunteer.
"Together, we can make every stride count."
Let’s lift each other, one step at a time 🫶.

Description
Help me fundraise for Hand Up From Hunger Toronto!
I’m raising funds to support Hand Up Toronto and together, we can provide food-insecure families in Toronto with twice monthly hampers of fresh produce and nutrient-dense non-perishables (rice, pasta and dried lentils and beans).
Here’s why this cause is important to me and how you can get involved, too:
Up to 1 in 4 households in Toronto face food insecurity and up to 80% of those households never go to a foodbank. Hand Up Toronto's distribution and delivery model reaches those families.
Proper nutrition, especially the fresh produce that is so out of reach for low-income families significantly improves children’s mental health, academic performance, and long-term wellbeing.
I'm fundraising so that every family that wants hampers can get one through Hand Up Toronto.
