Kaitlin's Legacy...

 
When Kaitlin Boyda donated her wish from the Children’s Wish Foundation to build a well for children in Uganda, no one could have imagined how infectious her generosity would become. Inspired by the story of Kaitlin’s generosity, caring individuals from Korea, the UK, Australia, the United States and all across Canada came together to provide over $265,034 in funding for Compassion’s water projects in Africa, benefitting thousands of children and their families.

Kaitlin went to be with the Lord on May 5, 2011 at age 17, leaving behind a legacy of faith and compassion that has impacted the lives of thousands and we at Compassion Canada are profoundly honoured to have been a small part of her wish. In lieu of flowers, the Boyda family has requested that a donation be made to Kaitlin’s Legacy, continuing to provide water for children in need and completing the work began by her simple act of faith.

"And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is my disciple, I tell you the truth, he will certainly not lose his reward." Matthew 10:42
