Thanks again Perry!
You did a tremendous job going above and beyond for the children in our community! I have been reading through your website and can agree with the Can Do Attitude. You definitely exceeded our expectations.
I had planned a carnival for the February Stat – Family Day. And Fed Ex was not going to deliver our products we needed for the carnival until Wednesday… two days after the carnival. I was going out of my mind calling everyone I knew in Calgary to pick up the parcels and put them onto a bus to get here on time. I had almost given up when I was put in contact with Perry. I was in Melfort, Saskatchewan and I had an uncle in Toronto that I was explaining my problem. He looked on the Craigslist.org website and found Perry. My uncle, three-way called us in and Perry was enthusiastic from the start.
I informed Perry that I needed him to pick up the parcels at Fed Ex and take them to Greyhound and they needed to be picked up C.O.D. It was late Friday evening and very early Saturday morning when we spoke. He did call me and had done exactly what I requested. He even went above and beyond, when he arrived at Fed Ex on Saturday and they were closed he went into the restricted area and was knocking on doors and ringing doorbells. He understood the urgency of the delivery and in spite of the fact that he could have been arrested for trespassing. He did succeed in getting the five large boxed from Fed Ex and took them to Greyhound. At the bus parcel he had to have the bus put our order on a specific special delivery to Saskatchewan to get here on time. He even paid for insurance and got a guarantee for us to absolutely get the packages. And the most crucial part of this testimony is that he did it all on my word. I cannot express the gratitude I have that there are still people in this world that trust. The package arrived to the community in time for us to decorate the gym, no thanks to the Oriental Trading Company we paid expedited parcel service to or Fed Ex. Our carnival was a huge success thanks to Perry! He really does everything. All the children from James Smith Cree Nation are grateful to have had a carnival.
