Laura and I met up and she showed me her tasty cookies:
What a cutie face, right? The cookies were nut free and some were dairy free and some weren't. Oatmeal chocolate chip! Deeeeeelicious.And then we got our signs on and started offering out cookies:
My favourite thing about handing out the cookies with Laura was the people who would give suspicious eyes and Laura would say, "Don't worry, we're not crazy and the cookies aren't poisonous." HA! Amazing.
Yes, it was really nice having company today on the goat quest. My fabulous friend Stephanie also came out during her lunch hour and did her part:
THANK YOU STEPHI! You are the best.
There are many many many thanks I'd like to give to all you kind people in Ottawa today, whether you live here or are just visiting. Your generosity was overwhelming.
We started the day with $10.06, and by the end of the day we had raised...
...$53.94!
Holy GOAT! That means on top of our first goat ($58) and our new total ($53.94 + $10.06 = $64) our grand total after only FOUR days (and yes, a lot of walking), our grand total is...$122!
Amazing!
SO: two goats = $122 (done and done) which left us with $6. So I took that $6 in change and bought some canned food for The Ottawa Foodbank to give back to the city that has given so generously in my quest.
In all seriousness, and before I depart, I started this blog and came up with this idea on a whim. I had some time and all I really did was make a sign and carried a jar with me and talked to people who asked me questions. It wasn't that hard. But it was SO GREAT to feel the power of people's generosity over the last 4 days.
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays!
...and THANKS AGAIN.
