Community organizations like United Way need to be there to take care of people and to support the long-term stability of the social services sector. Planning for a bequest that will benefit future generations has been a valuable conversation for our family.

I live in the middle of Toronto and I see the inequalities. For me, community is about caring for each other. That’s why it’s important to give—what might seem like a small amount can have a significant impact.
