Sara Wheelwright the Trusted founder is the volunteer Chair of the 2014 Habitat for Humanity Saskatoon $100k in 100days ladies Build.

Check out this video to find out more!

Here Sara talks about it to us and she sends out a challenge to Saskatoon ladies! 

" With your help Habitat for Humanity Saskatoon can raise $100,000 in 100 days, which is the funding needed to build a Habitat home for a family.

-Imagine paying over 60% of your monthly income for rent for a small apartment that is not safe for your family.

-Imagine having to choose between paying the power bill, so that the lights stayed on another month, and buying groceries.

This is reality for too many Saskatoon families. The need for affordable housing has never been greater in our city. It’s not just stroking a cheque....there is more ( if you want it )

Ladies, beyond the extremely generous act of giving ( or raising) the $1000, this initiative is unique, as we also includes many EXTRAS! 

**If you choose to be 1 of the 100 women, in Feb 2015 you will be treated to an exclusive 100 in 100 Red Carpet Extravaganza Party to celebrate achieving this amazing goal ( anyone that knows me, knows I throw a heck of a party! Not to be missed)

**Be part of the build itself – offer your skills ( and / or your families, employees, team members or fellow fundraisers skills ) on build days throughout the year, and work alongside the families that will benefit from this extraordinary fundraiser- as they pour their own sweat equity into building the home they have always longed for !!

BE PART OF THE SOLUTION Last year in Regina $100,000 was raised in just 49 days. ( I think we can beat them …)

Please forward this post and CHALLENGE your friends to join us as part of this exciting campaign.

The 100 days started September, 15, 2015 it end on Christmas Eve 

To show my commitment I pledge $2000 - for Trusted's donation - so myself and Leanna Keyes the Trusted Saskatoon consultant are 2 of the 100...I know that we already have pledges in ..and that as i write this events are being organized to raise money - if you can't donate $1000, i urge you to think out side the box on how you can contribute - share this post on social media , attend the events to raise money BE INVOLVED !

Reed Security's video tip on a Punk breaking into a Reed Security Van:

ARE YOU A STAR ON THE NEW REEDHD YOUTUBE CHANNEL?

Thieves target vehicles just as much as homes and businesses. This Reed Security video camera captures an intruder breaking into one of our own service vehicles in the middle of the night. No break in tools required - he simply tried every door on the building and every vehicle door until he found his opportunity. Burglars look for drills, tools, smartphones, iPads, iPods, laptops, digital cameras, GPS systems, sporting goods, brand name clothing, and loose change.

This video evidence has been provided to the Saskatoon Police Service and sent to several thousand Reed Security clients. $100 Reward if you recognize this person. www.reedsecurity.com

JANICE'S BUILD- the Trusted Rebuild

Last week we heard about Janice, a single Mum in Saskatoon that has not been lucky enough to deal with a  ' Trustworthy' business, in fact, she has dealt with the kind of company that we set Trusted Saskatoon up to protect people from.... let's share the first part of the story. 

Janice is a lovely woman who has been left in a house that was a home 5 months ago & now is a dangerous unfinished, building site. She is trying to keep on a brave face for her 10-year-old daughter but is sick with worry that the house won't survive the Winter cold that is on its way,  and wondering every day how she is going to manage to get back on her feet .......why? All because of an unscrupulous Saskatoon contractor that has been her worst nightmare! 

We heard her story last week through a friend of Sara's, the Trusted founder, and we were extremely moved by her plight, and wanted to do what we could to help...it's a great thing we know an amazing group of local Saskatoon businesses, who are invested in their community and who truly set the standard for integrity in the Saskatoon Business community!

We sent out an email at 9 pm that night, we had some responses back within the hour and by the end of the week, we have already had so many wonderful Trusted Saskatoon directory partners offer Janice their help...and  Trusted Regina partners!  

• Perfection Plumbing - All the plumbing
• kitchen backsplash, shower tiles, labour
•  A NEW CUSTOM KITCHEN
• Age Of Electric - ALL the electrics
• Sunview Windows & Doors - $250 towards the rebuild
• Kari Calder- Century 21 - $300 in Home Depot Gift Certs
• Hairstyle Inn's  - $300 Gift Certificate to HSI
• Made In The Shade Gift Certificate for MIS
• Trusted Regina Partners a NEW Roof and heated roof system! 
• Fresh Living - shopping help and design 
• Kitchen & Bath Classics  - Bathroom vanity unit
• PLus all  Painting services  

" Saskatoon has been amazing to me and my family, and I believe it's important to step up to help people in the community you live in. Janice's situation is not uncommon unfortunately, a thing like this happen every day to families and individuals in this city and this province, that's why I was motivated to start Trusted. I am just glad I am in a position, along with the Trusted partners to help her with this hand up back on her feet again. 
 
To start the ball rolling I will donate $1000 in TrustedSaskatoon.com  Gift Certificates for Janice to put towards this rebuild. She can use them at any of the partner businesses on the www.trustedsaskatoon.com directory.  I am not going to publicly name the contractor or his business...that is not my place, but after what I saw & heard today I believe strongly that the company  should have their A rating on the Better Business Bureau of Saskatchewan lowered to an F, and the insurance companies should take them off their preferred list of contractors"
