Le récit est un acte puissant qui donne vie à des valeurs et à des expériences et qui inspire souvent des niveaux plus élevés de compréhension et de générosité. Raconter votre propre histoire vous permet de réfléchir à la signification et à l’impact d’événements importants, de découvrir les causes qui vous tiennent le plus à cœur et de laisser un récit écrit de votre parcours qui pourra être partagé avec vos amis et votre famille aujourd’hui ou après votre départ. Et soyons honnêtes : si quelqu’un doit raconter votre histoire, ne préféreriez-vous pas que ce soit vous ?

De nombreuses personnes trouvent même utile de consigner leur histoire avant de décider de l’orientation de leurs dons ou legs caritatifs. Souvent, ce processus permet de découvrir des passions pour des causes qu’ils n’avaient pas encore envisagées. Nous savons que le fait d’immortaliser des histoires rend notre communauté plus forte, renforce la fierté de notre région et perpétue à jamais le souvenir de personnes généreuses.

Vous trouverez ci-dessous quelques-unes des belles histoires de dons capturées et conservées par la Community Foundation au fil des ans.
