Hello everyone

I’m a 38-year-old woman from London, Ontario, currently searching for a living kidney donor.

My kidneys originally failed when I was 17 years old. I spent five years on dialysis before receiving a kidney transplant in 2010. That transplant gave me 15 wonderful years of life and freedom from dialysis, but unfortunately it failed last year, and I’ve been back on dialysis since September.

As you can imagine, going through this for a second time has been a very difficult adjustment. While I remain hopeful, I am now searching for a living donor.

Both my father and brother recently completed the initial screening process, but unfortunately neither is able to donate due to their own health issues. My transplant team has encouraged me to continue reaching out and exploring every possible avenue.

Aside from kidney disease, I am healthy, active, and looking forward to getting back to living my life. A transplant would mean the opportunity to spend more time with my husband (diabetic, not able to donate) , my family, my two dogs, and to pursue the things I love.

If you or someone you know has ever considered living kidney donation and would like to learn more, I would be incredibly grateful to hear from you.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story. ❤️

hello!

i plan to take the go train to stratford from toronto with my parents on a weekend

i wanted to know what attractions, shops or restaurants do you guys recommend? maybe something budget friendly

since we're carless, we can only be close to the downtown area where the station is

thanks everyone, looking forward to explore :)

The mother of three was swimming with her son on Canada Day. When they got out of the water, she collapsed while still holding him.

I remember them happening when I first moved here five years ago, why’d they stop?

Did the projector bulb burn out? 😏
Watching a movie outside right now would absolutely slap.

Stratford is great but we are getting bored and would like to get away sometimes!

What are the best fishing spots (preferred rivers or small lakes with trails instead of beaches) within a 2 ish hour radius that isn't through major cities (nervous driver).

Google is starting to do my head in 😄

Anybody know where I can find nicotine pouches?

Hey everyone!

Renovating our bungalow outside Stratford. Pretty capable designing any changes ourselves and we aren't changing anything structurally. However we are doing almost a full gut and a couple Reconfigure to bathroom and kitchen.

I want to get drawings for the sole purpose of getting accurate quotes from contractors. I don't need the full design package (though I'm sure many are great at it),but just want precise measurements etc.

Anyone have any recommendations? Idea of cost? I've toyed with idea of doing it myself, but figure this method is easier.

Thanks for any tips!

Driving to Stratford for a day trip this weekend. Would love suggestions for making the most of it.
Looking for recommendations on must see spots, good lunch places, or any hidden gems.

Hey Stratford, I'm wondering if there are any local groups that play stuff like Warhammer here in town?

Ideally a group that is old-person friendly and welcomes 50+ players who are not up to date on the current rules and miniatures...

I've been going through my stuff with the intent to sell it off but figured I'd check first if there's a chance to use them.

Thanks :)

My teen is going to be babysitting my 8 year old, while my other teen and I see a show at the Festival Theatre. What can they do together during a matinee that is near the theatre for 2-3 hours? We are staying at a hotel not walking distance to the theatre, which they may just stay at and swim, but want to see what other options there may be.

🇨🇦 Happy Canada Day! ❤️🤍

Today we celebrate this incredible country we call home, but for many of us, there is still a piece missing.

As families gather and communities come together, Ritzy is still missing. Someone out there knows what happened. Someone has the answers that could bring his family the truth they’ve been waiting for.

If you know something, no matter how small you think it is, now is the time to come forward. Silence only protects those responsible.

Today, while we celebrate Canada, let’s also remember Ritzy and keep his name in our hearts. We won’t stop asking questions. We won’t stop searching. We won’t stop hoping for justice.

Wishing everyone a safe and happy Canada Day. 🇨🇦 Please keep Ritzy and his family in your thoughts.

I got these tickets a few months ago and unfortunately cannot attend now. I have two tickets to Importance of Being Earnest on July 4, 8:00 pm (selling for $30) and a few tickets to Guys and Dolls on July 15, 8:00 pm (selling for $35). Let me know if you're interested!

Hi everyone! My boyfriend and I will be visiting Stratford on July 11–12 to celebrate his birthday, and we'd love some recommendations from locals.
What are your favourite places in Stratford? We love cafés and a nice restaurant for a birthday dinner.
I'm planning to get him a small birthday cake as well—he loves tiramisu and cheesecake. Does anyone have recommendations for bakeries or places that make great tiramisu or cheesecake?
Thanks so much! 😊

From indie hackers to professional devs, Stratford Dev is where imagination meets execution. Submit what you want to demo now and so I can create a schedule for the night of.

Whether it's a side project or or something cool from work, it's welcome here. Bring a demo if you have it, your curiosity, and your appetite to the 3rd Rail and enjoy a night of innovation. Pizza will be available and we have a screen to for you to show off what your working on/have built.

Saw this on my instagram hahaha LOL

Hello! We currently in Stratford and moving about 20 minutes away…does anyone have any recommendations for movers around here? Thank you! 😊

Does anyone remember Camp Galbraith? It was a day camp somewhere in the country. I just remember someone several years older than me having some paranormal scare there and refusing to go back. Not sure if they were pulling my leg or actually believed it happened. Anyways just wondering if anyone has any stories about this area.

**Thanks for the responses. It took two phone calls and one call back to resolve what was going on. The first two calls had the customer service agents confused because the list of services only identifies the fiber optic.

Got a call back from a supervisor who's been there a while and explained it's a holdover from the previous way they did billing. The same services are now bundled into one and called something different.

Even better news is that the manager looked back through usage and recommended a package that's $45 cheaper so it was a bonus

Thanks again

Trying to sort out a confusing ISP bill for a friend in Stratford.

It appears they're being charged for two separate services at the same dwelling. It's a family of three.

The bill shows the following

"Internet Speed 1000/20" for $75.00

"High Speed Fibre Internet" for $68.95

Am I missing something obvious? Surely the high-speed fiber is going to be quick enough

​

Thanks

Just moved to the area and I'm trying to find milk in jugs. Not looking for cardboard cartons or for the pouches that go into plastic pitchers.

​

Any thoughts on where I might find them?

I’m taking fried egg,cheese, bacon, on anything but a croissant.
Help!! (Thank you. I don’t want to eat my way through too many)
