BUzz hARGROVE YOUTh AchIEVEMENT AWARD
The Buzz Hargrove Youth Achievement Award is presented annually to two youth who
have graduated rom the Eva’s Phoenix program and who demonstrate excellence in
achieving his/her career-ocused goals. The 2008 Award was given to Raymion Balgrove,
24, and Jaymie-Lee Aitken, 24. During his year at Phoenix, you could always fnd
Raymion helping out with shelter activities, social events or cooking or one o our
many special events celebrated at the site. He completed the Foundations o Print
Program, moved to an apartment located not ar rom where he works in the Finishing
Department at Astley Gilbert. Known as a hard-worker and someone who was willing to
take time to help others, he is certainly deserving o the award.
Although spending only about six-months at Eva’s Phoenix, Jaymie-Lee, a goal-
oriented young woman, appreciated the opportunity aorded her at Phoenix to become
independent. She now attends Centennial College on her way towards a Diploma in
Social Services and works with seniors and children with disabilities. She values her
18-month relationship with her mentor, secured through the Phoenix Mentorship
Program. Through this support, she has made signifcant strides in connecting back
with her amily and, in particular, with her siblings with whom she now has a much
closer relationship. We congratulate them both on the signifcant strides they have
made in their journey to becoming sel-sufcient.

News and Updates from Eva’s Initiatives ~ Fall 2008 ~
VOlUNTEER PROFIlE hEAThER MAllISTERHeather McAllister frst heard about Eva’s Initiatives rom
a coworker at CIBC, Gavin Clingbine. Gavin was raising
money or Eva’s by running the Boston Marathon. To make
her donation, Heather went to Eva’s website. She liked
Eva’s holistic approach to dealing with the issues aced
by homeless youth. She talked about getting involved
as a volunteer with Gavin, who recommended that she
volunteer on a committee to learn more about Eva’s.
Heather became a member o the Spring Auction
committee. “There is a lot o un being a volunteer
at Eva’s. I was really taken by the auction committee
volunteers. I cannot say enough about them. They
knock my socks o. Many o the committee members
are long-time volunteers and have such passion or the
organization, especially those with a personal connection
to Eva Smith.” In the our years that Heather has been
involved with the spring auction she has seen the event
grow rom raising $77,000 to a record $129,000 in 2008.
One o Heather’s many achievements as a volunteer was
working with Gavin and Eva’s Development Department to
write a unding proposal to CIBC.
Heather helped launch a new unding partnership that
continues to this day. CIBC is the lead under o the
National Initiative’s Innovation Awards.
Heather continues to volunteer as the co-chair o Eva’s
two major undraising events – the Home or Lie Auction
and Taste Matters. Eva’s relies on thecaring and commitment o people
like Heather.

~ News and Updates from Eva’s Initiatives ~ Fall 2008
lETTER OF ThANkSHi, my name is Ellie. I went through a very dismal period
in my lie when I thought that I didn’t have anything to
oer to anyone and I was incapable o being loved. I had a
horrible relationship with my parents. I rebelled endlessly
and every conversation with them erupted in a very verbal
and sometimes even physical conrontation. I elt that
they didn’t appreciate me and would only belittle me when
I made a mistake. I tried to compensate or the lack o
nurturing at home by seeking out anyone that would give
me some o their time. This brought me much heartache
because my vulnerability invited many people that took
advantage o me. I was stuck in a hole that I couldn’t crawl
out o, without anyone oering me a hand.
I spent many nights crying, not wanting to leave my bed
the next day. At school, I would be very tired and isolated.
I couldn’t relate to my peers because I didn’t think anyone would understand or even want to listen. My grades suered, and like
a vicious cycle, it brought on more criticism rom my parents. This continued or months until I hit rock bottom. I realized that I
needed to do something or mysel beore it was too late. So I started to research all the counselling agencies within Toronto, hopin
to fnd someone that would be willing to take my case.
I made several phone calls to agencies and shelters within Toronto. Most o the time I was added to the agency’s waiting list because
they didn’t have enough counselors available to take me, or I was cast aside because my case didn’t warrant enough “priority”. I wa
very angry and disappointed. It’s very discouraging when your last option ails on you. Just when I was about to give up I received
a call rom Sondra Marcon o the Family Reconnect Program at Eva’s Initiatives. She was kind and understanding. She didn’t try to
reduce what I wanted to say into simple clichés and she didn’t oer me the amiliar “I’ll give you a call when I can fnd someone”.
She understood the urgency in my words and oered to meet with me right away.
So, what began as a simple meeting blossomed into something much more. Sondra opened doors or me, oered me opportunities
that I would otherwise never dream o. She oered me advice that my peers couldn’t give and guidance that my parents ailed to
provide. People started to notice changes in me. My personality wasn’t as intense as beore. I am able to relax now because I exert
less pressure on mysel. I have more sel-confdence because I know I have many things that I can oer to others. I stood up or
mysel when I elt I was being treated unjustly.
Moreover, I can fnally talk to my parents now. Ater many sessions learning communication strategies and avoiding conrontations
I can now clearly express mysel to my parents. My relationship with them strengthened and they started to take me more seriously
I’m currently a university bound high school student.
Following my passion or art, last year I participated in the Delisle Youth Gallery, exhibiting my frst ink piece to the general public
I also excelled in my studies and concluded the year with an above 90% average in school. I want to express my sincere thanks to
Sondra and Eva’s Initiatives. Without them, the last two years would have been a very difcult journey. They did more than I would
have ever imagined and never once did I eel like I wasn’t their priority.
I’m very content with my lie right now and I don’t anticipate that to change anytime soon.
Thank you or everything,
Ellie

FOcUS ON OUR FRIENDS
A lOOk AT ONE INDIVIDUAl AND ONE ORGANIzATIONcOMMITTED TO EVA’S.
Emree Siaroff joined Eva’s Board in 2001 as a Director.
He has served as President, Vice-President, Chair of
the Human Resources Committee, Co-Chair of the
Diversity Committee and currently holds the position
of Secretary. Emree and his wife, Krista Wylie, areboth donors and volunteers.
I was introduced to Eva’s through an organization,
BoardMatch, which helps place volunteers on the
Boards o Directors o charitable organizations. At
that time, I was looking or a way to tangibly give
back to my community and ound the Eva’s model
o service delivery quite intriguing. I am committed
to Eva’s because it provides a holistic approach to
at-risk youth – rom emergency shelter ocused on
Harm Reduction to medium-term accommodations
ocused on Family Reconnect to long-term solutions
with a ocus on fnding meaningul work and a home o your own. The organization istruly looking or solutions and is not araid to break ground in doing so.
I’ve been asked how I’ve been able to balance amily, work and other commitments
along with my responsibilities to Eva’s. The secret is to make the organization part
o your lie. My amily is also involved with Eva’s and thereore my time at Eva’s is
important to all o us. My employer is also committed to the organization through both
my time and its unds.
In my opinion, the organization’s biggest challenge is its size. We are on a cusp where
we are no longer a small local charity but certainly not as large as a hospital or other
national cause. To this end, we need to raise big unds without big awareness. Our
challenge is to let the people o Toronto and across the country know who we are and
what great things we do. People need to be aware o our biggest accomplishments.
Family Reconnect, Harm Reduction, The Print Shop are just a ew o the things we do
that are unique, real and tangible.
At RBC we believe that i Canada is to remain healthy
and prosperous, businesses must be engaged in building
capacity and sustainability, employment and employability
within our communities. Our support o Eva’s Initiatives is
just one example o how we support these belies through
our support o the community.
RBC has been partnering with Eva’s Initiatives since 1998 with donations totallingmore than $270,000. Our donations have been directed to supporting young people in
building their sel-esteem, establishing solid lie skills and developing opportunities
they can build on or uture career possibilities. Throughout the Greater Toronto Area,
we ocus on programs that enable youth to move past any barriers and achieve success
in their own lives.
RBC continues to support Eva’s Initiatives because it provides undamental services that
work to achieve long-term results in ending youth homelessness. Eva’s continues to
look into the uture to build on new ideas and create innovative programs that will help
young people or many years to come.- Gayle Longley
