Pearl, thank you too, for reading. Grace, you're very welcome. And thank you too. Gillian, it was definitely an eye-opener. Felonius, as I recall there was sometimes a mad rush between the YMCA and the Hare Krishnas, as they both raced to reach the disembarking youth first....when's the Perseid? How's your novel coming along? Stacey, thank you for that. I hope you'll come back for the upcoming Youville and Loeb Centre stories!

Each year we ask that the lion's share of our donation goes to youth programs: their vulnerability scares the pants off me. May there be many more happy endings. Thanks so much for this.

I've been United Way donor for years here in the U.S., because I believe they do good and far-too-necessary work. Thanks for giving us a peak inside the shelter. And I'm so glad you're able to be up and around now! What a great opportunity you have to see “your” money at work where it is so obviously doing such good work!
