Love 4 Reesie Foundation

💖The heartfelt mission of The Dave Smith Centre located in Carp, ON is “To provide youth and families in need with integrated, evidence-based addiction and mental health treatment, delivered by competent professionals within a caring and compassionate environment.”

🌼L4R along with the amazing Illingsworth family, donated all the wood for their new raised gardens to help create a space for reflection, learning, care & personal growth. The participants will grow veggies to use in their kitchen, nurture flowering buds & acquire lifelong gardening skills.

I have had the privilege of getting to know the amazing people at the centre and I am in awe of the amazing programming that they offer. I also cannot thank them enough for dedicating their new butterfly garden to our girl 🦋

Thank you so much to the Love 4 Reesie Foundation for donating a $500 gift card for groceries!!!

💘This is one big mashup of love!

For the past couple of years St.Mary’s School has named Love4Reesie as the recipient of the donations from their student vs. staff hockey game! As a thank you, we got them some new school yard gear to have a BALL with! BUT! With a special alumni in mind. 🩵

⛳️Last summer, the amazing Labelle Family hosted a memorial golf tournament for their beloved Tony and named Love4Reesie as the recipient of proceeds. The day was magical, and it was so nice seeing so many of his family & friends gather to celebrate his legacy on the 20th anniversary of his passing.

We wanted to do something special to memorialize Tony and his family’s kindness. Tony loved the outdoors and having a good time. We know that there is nothing more important than seeing your loved one’s name long after they’ve gone. It keeps them in the present. Keeps their spirit alive.

So we decided this mashup would be something that Tony would appreciate. He’s an alumni of St. Mary’s school and his family is a very important part of childrens’ lives within the local school systems. We thought with this offering the kids would have a ball and have a great time in Tony’s name. The kids at St. Mary’s will know who Tony is and who Reese is for a long time. We wish them tons of laughs and good times with their new gear!

Thank you for ALL the things the community does for our girl. All of these children in the school impromptu picture knew who Reese was. A bunch of children yelled “thank you Reesie” as we left the school. There is nothing more that this Mom could ask for 💕.
