Making It Home Your Way, a Winnipeg-based grassroots organization that helps set up homes for community members who were previously unhoused, is a beneficiary of Two Small Men With Big Hearts Moving's 101 Moves campaign, which provides time and resources to local charities over the holiday season.
Since its inception two years ago, the organization has sought to address that very issue. Founded by Patricia Hedden and Robin MacKenzie, the nonprofit has set up 23 people in a total of nine homes. While that number might not seem objectively huge, the difference it has made in the lives of these 23 people is massive.
Since the inception of Making It Home, Two Small Men has offered its services, crews and trucks for no charge to assist in moving all of the people the organization has worked with.
“Two small men stepped up to fill that role for us,” says MacKenzie. “They truly have been so accommodating. Every home we take on is unique, and there are challenges each and every time. But to a person, Two Small Men Moving has been so compassionate. And when we run into a problem, Two Small Men always steps up and makes it happen to solve the problem. They want to make sure that our participant is in their finished home by the end of the day. So it's incredible the way that it has come together.”
