Hi, this is Mark. I’m actually calling from the Real Canadian Superstore—I work here. I’ve struggled with addiction and mental health all my life. I’ve hit some really low points and gone down some tough roads. But one day, I finally got on my knees and said, “God, show me the way.” That’s when I found this station. It’s been so helpful in drawing me closer to Jesus and keeping Him in my heart every day. Thank you for giving me the space to share this. I hope my story encourages someone else who’s also struggling with addiction or mental health. Have a great day. Bye.

Kids go to Catholic High School and, you know, first year my daughter entered, she came from a public school into the Catholic system and she was honestly in her case, she would get on the bus and she was bullied every day. Someone who was in grade 10 and it was, it was awful. It was a challenging time. And, you know, I taught my, my son. He's 13 now, Grade 8. You know, last year he had a horrible experience that he kept to himself and he was being bullied. So you know, I I feel for this child and my heart just ugh. And I know, like the radio station is so impactful, if that is pouring into that child, then that's just an amazing thing that God is using in the times in this world when things are just so hard. Pours into that. So if we could up our giving by $10 a month, I just feel that just something we can make work, even though things are hard and I love this radio station. Our--like I said, our kids listen to it. Our teenagers, all teenagers, and they all listen to it and it's, it's impactful and even on our walk last night, me and my one daughter, she she brought the Earpods along and we each put one in our ear. We were listening as we were out on our on our walk last night. Right. And it it's moving in their lives. It moves in our lives. And I just want to keep that going for everybody out there.

My husband died earlier this year and a lot of things changed in my life when that happened and I just find that UCB really gives me the encouragement I need and uplifts me and it's very comforting even on a sad day. It can be a lifeline sometimes and it really helps me get through. And lifts my heart.
