LIFE EXCHANGE
“Bringing life solutions for children and teens that need our response!”
December 10, 2013
Dear
Good day! May I introduce you to LIFE EXCHANGE!
OUR HISTORY
This charity became a BC Registered Society in 2009 with these values incorporated into its design:
OUR PURPOSE-we are a community of responders committed to “being there for children and teens facing critical life situations. We will implement and employ the principles of love, acceptance, safety and security through our collective actions of prevention, intervention, health, hope, justice, recovery and restoration.”
OUR VISION-we see a better preferred future for the youth in our communities. This Society is creating a community of equipped, motivated and resourceful people who are reaching children & teens that live in unhealthy critical life environments that affect their personal wellbeing, safety, security and educational development. Together we are creating wholesome living and learning places; we are becoming that “village” that journey s with the child and the teen enabling them to achieve their preferred future.
OUR MISSION-we are bringing about authentic and effective “life exchange” for children and teens at risk, as we gather people from diverse fields of professional, social, medical, financial, legal and spiritual expertise, who are capable of providing the resources, assistance, support, counsel and resolve that are needed. We are the “bridge over dangerous waters”. We are the “level and clear path in a dark world”. We are the “fountain of fresh water in their desert”. We are to see that no child or teen is left to themselves in their disintegrating quality of life, learning deficiency, dangerous environment or adolescent vulnerability.
OUR CURRENT CHARITABLE ACTIVITIES
1. At Chilliwack Senior High School we provide a healthy luncheon program plus snack bars & fruit to the Special Education class of 45 Grade 10-12 students. Many teens have dehydration issues, so we have provided “water bottles” that they keep by their side. We purchased winter hoodies for a number of underprivileged teens. Each teen will receive a Christmas stocking filled with personal hygiene products & Christmas treats. We also throw a Christmas party to create a sense of “family” for these teens. Graduation time can be stressful for these teens when they can’t pay for their grad costs, so we provide the funds they require.
2. We provided 5 Elementary schools with winter jackets and boots to many underprivileged children. “A warm child is a happy child!” Life Exchange has also come alongside single parents to respond to their needs; broken down vehicles, needed medication, eye glasses, groceries, transportation and counseling services.
Life Exchange is committed to the marginalized youth in Chilliwack. I am asking you to consider empowering our work in this city. Your contributions are important as we purpose to make this Christmas season a positive one for many youth and their families.

“life exchange experiences” for the youth in our community. God bless and Merry Christmas!
