The Parkland Ukrainian Family Fund has officially welcomed its first two families to the Parkland, just over two months after Reit-Syd Equipment made the $25,000 donation that kicked off the fund.
Don Tarrant from Reit-Syd said that thanks to the incredible generosity of people around the Parkland and beyond, they're going to be welcoming more families than expected.
When we started it I thought maybe we could do one or two families, and had a number of how many dollars we could do for one or two families. The way it turned out right after that we thought maybe we could do three or four. Then with some cost reductions, what we could do, and the amount of money to come in, we're going to shoot for ten or twelve families.
