Our Team at Don Of All Trades Professional Home Maintenance Services had a blast at the 2014 Local Biz Expo and Trade Show held at the Ajax Convention Centre. It was an exciting event we participated in and although it was a long tiring day, it was so worth it to be involved alongside other fantastic local businesses in the Durham Region.  We were featured in Snap Magazine-Ajax Edition! How exciting is that! Read all about it below! 

 For over a month we have been planning and organizing a charity bbq event to help raise funds and  donated items benefiting Herizon House, a not for profit organization  who provide  free confidential services 24 hours a day and provide a place of safety, support and empowerment for abused women and their children. Herizon House is committed to ending the cycle of abuse and violence in the community. 

  Yolanda D’Orazio,  founder and volunteer coordinator of the Don Of All Trades Building Trees of Hope Program hosted a small Women Lunch  in aid of Herizon House Women’s Shelter-a not-for-profit, charitable organization that provides a place of safety where women and children will feel accepted, supported and empowered as they move towards living their lives free of violence in Durham Region.

This was a perfect opportunity for Women in Business to get together, have fun, connect, share, show support and enjoy good food and conversation while making a contribution to our Helping Hands Building Trees of Hope program benefiting Herizon House.

As we all know, networking events are great but from my past experiences, I feel there is never enough time to really get to talk and get to know each other.

This  special lunch was the perfect opportunity for women in business to spend some time together, have fun,  connect and enjoy some good food, great conversation a nd help our community.

I was excited and looking forward to being their hostess for this event and being able to reach out and assist women and children in our community who at times, need help the most. 

 We were delighted to invite our friends, family members and women in businesses to our Women’s Helping Hands Charity High Tea Eventheld on November 14 hosted by   Yolanda D’Orazio,Volunteer Coordinator of the Don Of All Trades Helping Hands Building Tree’s of Hope Program. This was a charming and super delicious way to spend an afternoon and help the community.  Our Goal was to  drop off 30 donated items to ensure every women and child received  something special this Christmas from the community. 

 This past Mother’s Day, we  reconnected our love for our moms and our respect for all women by assembling a very special project initiated by the Don of All Trades Professional Home Maintenance Services of Durham Region.  Our team  runs “The Helping Hands Building Trees of Hope Project”,   a program that we created which turns donations into supports for women in abusive relationships.

We felt that there was  no better day this year to celebrate our moms by recognizing the value of all women and making a big difference for a victim of domestic violence. 

On Saturday, June  24, we were once again  delighted to invite our friends, clients, local businesses owners, neighbors and family around for our third annual Don of all Trades Charity BBQ Event benefiting Herizon House Women’s Shelter as  it made for a fun and inspirational afternoon and helps the community!

From now until the end of February, I am putting together a collection of cat food, cat toys, cat treats and kitty litter in memory of our beloved Meesh who left our family on January 29, 2017 after being a HUGE and Special part of our family for over 16 years. Our family still misses him everyday. I thought it would be so wonderful to honor Meesh's memory by helping other pet owners in the community in difficult times by donating food, litter and toys and donate them to Biggie & Frank's Pet Food Bank organization created and run by a beautiful women, Sandra Howlett and is located right here in Durham Region. If anyone is interested to donate any items in Memory of Meesh, please let me know. Send me a message and I will respond back a.s.a.p. Anything and everything will help. Will keep you posted with updates on any donations we get! Thank you! 

 This years venue was held on Sunday March 4th at the Waters Edge Buffet Restaurant located inside the  Great Blue Heron Casino in Port Perry, Ontario.  It was a beautiful sunny day to celebrate, the food was delicious and it was so good to be able to just sit together, catch up and enjoy each other’s company again. 

 Amazing things happen when people come together to help others! Helping others in their time of need really shows how a community can come together no matter where they are from in a difficult time. This is just another example of how some very special women came out to show their support by donating items to put into 15 special Mother's Day Gift Bags to help brighten the holidays for women staying at Herizon House Women's Shelter.
