We are very excited to report that the Win Big contest has been a huge success so far.  Now that the contest is nearing its end, we would like to share with you some of our winners and their stories.

In Moose Jaw our winner Curtis was so happy to finally get a boat he and his family could go fishing with in the summer.  Patty in Melville has a brand new fence to help keep her dog from running away.  Hailey was affected by the flooding in Yorkton so we helped her get all new electrical installed in her basement where she runs her business.

In Swift Current, our winner (Bryon) wanted to replace the headstones of his late brother and daughter.  Since their daughter passed on his wife’s birthday she had not celebrated in years.  After the headstones were purchased, the remaining money went to a celebration for his wife’s birthday.  All of their family attended and were very grateful to DirectWest for making this all possible.

Our winner in Weyburn, Shirley, was very inspiring.  Unfortunately, Shirley almost died a couple of years ago and ended up losing her legs to cancer.  Her submission for Win Big was to get a special bathtub that would help her greatly in daily life.  After winning, she found out that Telemircle was going to purchase the tub for her.  Since she had chosen Medi-Chair to spend her winning, this gave her an opportunity to get even more items she really needed.  Shirley and her husband are amazing people and have been through so much over the last couple of years, we are very proud to be a part of making their lives easier.  Shirley’s final comments to us nicely summed up the impact we had “I can garden again, watch TV in comfort, and get up from my chair without difficulty.  This means a lot to me and my family, thank-you”.

In Regina our winner, Conlin, will be taking his Grandfather to their homeland in Scotland.  Jackie is our newest winner from Saskatoon and she is going to remodel her bathroom and replace her toilets so she can help the environment by conserving water.

We are very proud and excited that the Win Big contest had such a positive impact on those who are in need.  We would like to thank everyone who has entered the contest and those who have voted.
