LIFE LINK & JEREMIAH’S HOPE

Our daughter Tamryn is still very involved as a volunteer counsellor at Life Link Pregnancy Crisis Center and as the unit manager for Jeremiah’s Hope baby shelter. She does counselling, ultrasounds, pregnancy tests and HIV tests for free. And she often cooks food for the babies in the shelter and takes them to the clinic for their health checks. The Center and Baby shelter run off donations only.

THE PURPLE HOPE ADVOCATE

Tamryn started an awareness campaign after our son Seth passed away called The Purple Hope Advocate raising awareness against drug addiction and drug overdose. We as a family raise awareness together and Cheryl and Tamryn have done awareness talks by telling Seth’s story at Schools and youth groups. Tamryn makes and sells earrings and keychains to fund the items needed for the awareness.
