A group of volunteers have sore feet and backs but say it was worth it seeing the joy on the faces of residents in a Manitoba care home.
Rachelle Chwaluk along with her husband, kids, and their friends put up Christmas trees complete with decorations and lights outside of each of the resident s windows to bring them some cheer this season. The response that I have gotten has been insane. People are so tired of seeing the negative stuff on the news that it s a story that brought tears to people s eyes. It s been awesome for me to share with my kids, says Chwaluk.
