'A leader is anyone willing to help, anyone who sees something that needs to change and takes the first steps to influence that situation.' - Dr. Margaret Wheatley

A recent study reported that Saint John is tied with Toronto for the highest child poverty rate in Canada, with an astounding 29 per cent of children in Saint John and surrounding area now living in poverty. Shelley and Evan Doucet were shocked by this statistic and knew without a doubt that they needed to do something.

I started my conversation with Shelley and Evan by asking them what caused them to say,"We've got to do something more than just donate money. We need to create awareness and give in a much bigger way to a really worthy, important cause."
