Charitable Mom
Koreena Singh
I actually don’t know this person personally but I have followed her since she started a fundraiser on her page for black lives matter. I purchased a small rainbow wall hanging and I believe she sold almost 500 of them with all donations to different organizations. She also did a contest last year that was applied to by donating to her special link at the Vancouver food bank website. I didn’t win the contest but I believe almost $5000 was raised in the period of that one contest a few days. I love how she always makes everything about the community and giving and never about selfishly trying to promote herself. She also shares really important and current information that makes me want to research and learn further in different fields. Whether it comes to anti-racism, world news, women’s rights, etc. Again, I don’t know this person personally but I followed her for about a year and a half since she started her page and she has become my absolute favourite account on the Internet
