to help send boxes of school supplies and other goods in bulk along shipping routes reaching northern communities.Donations from the Facebook group"Help For Remote Northern Communities," which has over 130 members.
Many of the donations are geared toward youth, but the group has also expanded their efforts, to help all generations, sending things like bundles of yarn, snacks, and socks in a care package for elders. “I feel like a lot of people out there want to help; they just need a little guidance as to how,” Annie. E. Johnson, the group’s moderator, told HuffPost Canada. Members are from all over North America, including Cape Breton, N.S. and California; and they’re currently looking for support for finding cheap shipping options.
That’s the cost of living there. Don’t like it? Live someplace where costs of living are lower. Being gouged? An unfortunate nature of the beast that is remote living. That said, I applaud donors of causes like this. Supplies needed are costly enough, let alone when given away.
