Back in like April or May there was this pay it forward initiative that everyone was doing (it seemed like it anyways). It was the KINDNESS NINJAS or WINE NINJAS.

 You joined this group on Facebook, then people would leave their address and a list of some things they liked, and someone would ‘ninja you’ by buying the items and dropping them on your doorstep.

Well,  a local woman name MEGAN is asking the Windsor / Essex community if they’ll accept the mission to be a TOY NINJA this holiday! It’s essentially the same thing, except with toys and other items for KIDS!

 

MEGAN STILES explained how the group works on Windsor’s Country Mornings.

Meet the November winner of the Capri HERO SALUTE: STEPHANIE WILSON nominated VALERIE HEBERT for the following reasons:

“I recently had a coworker who told me she had rice and salsa for dinner for the last 3 days. I reached out to Val and she immediately went and bought this person she didn’t know a gift card for groceries. She helped organize a school supply drive this year and she will show up to any fundraiser you ever ask her to. She is the happiest person you would ever meet and exudes positivity especially for women. A recent Cancer survivor and bad ass business women don’t often go together but for Val they’re synonymous. She chooses to be happy everyday and look at what is great in this world. Even though she doesn’t want it I think she needs to be recognized for being a truly positive light within our community.”

Another Capri Pizza HERO SALUTE SPOTLIGHT: MATT nominated his wife SHELLY for the following reasons:

She went from performing surgeries to learning a nurses work in a matter of days. She became a nurse and started taking vitals, incubating patients, turning sedated patients, and dealing with the morgue instead of healing problems, fixing hurt body parts, and emergency life and death surgeries overnight.

She came home everyday and made sure the groceries she brought were sanitized and myself and our sons did not leave and were taking care of ourselves.
