Fundraising: As the nation and possibly others have opened their pocket books to assist in the Freedom Convoy 2022 (at this point, it is over 9.5 million dollars, which is absolutely heartwarming and phenomenal).
It is great to see people united and standing together, not only in words, but in actions, sharing, caring, participation, standing for a common goal.
It has taken many people to make this happen.
I would like to take a moment to spotlight a great not for profit business that definitely deserves to be mentioned and for others to learn about.

Hutterian Emergency Aquatic Response Team – HEART - is a certified dive team from the Oakbluff Colony located 7 miles east of Morris Manitoba.
The mission of HEART is to reunite drowning victims with their families in a timely fashion using sophisticated and modern Sonar Equipment. Losing a loved one through drowning is devastating. For those left behind, every night without a recovery brings additional heartache, which can last for days, weeks or even months.
Why? In 1998, 7-year-old Jonathan Maendel went missing, and after days of searching, the RCMP dive team recovered his young body in a local gravel pit. This impacted the Maendel brothers, who began their journey, that is now HEART.
Over the years HEART has gone through extensive training and certifications to aid in these recoveries.
I was made aware of this amazing company HEART (Hutterian Emergency Aquatic Response Team) this summer when friends of ours lost their friend at Lake Diefenbaker on July 1st, 2021. The 36-year-old man jumped out of a boat to rescue some children that were in distress and did not resurface after diving in. As this lake is a mammoth, rescue efforts were difficult.
The body was located due to the efforts and involvement of HEART.
I would like to make you aware of their efforts and heart and mention that if you are looking for something to support, this would be well worth it!
The families of these victims do not pay for their services, this company relies on Sponsors and Donations.
It is under the Resources tab on www.tipinions.com for further information.
Please research these people and find out just how caring and wonderful they are, along with the many people they have helped throughout the years.
Questions to Ponder:
Is this something that you could make a difference by donating or sponsoring?
