“Basically, he had thrown all of my things out, so I didn’t have anything,” Stupendick said. “Tanya helped me until I was ready to move.”

This wasn’t the first time D’Amato had been called to action. Since last spring, she has helped gather and deliver donations to several mothers seeking assistance from Single MOMtreal.

“It really hit home to see so many women with children in situations where they didn’t have enough to get by,” D’Amato explained. “It caught me by the heart and I just had to help.”
