honouring Yad Chowhan: the legacy of giving back
Yad Chowhan, my father, left an indelible mark on everyone he encountered. His unwavering dedication to helping those around him and serving the community was truly inspiring. Yad was not just a pillar of strength for his family but also a beacon of hope and kindness for friends and neighbors alike. To honor his legacy, we have launched the "Day to Give Back" project, a testament to his spirit of generosity and compassion. The name itself holds special significance—'Yad' spelled backwards is 'Day,' symbolizing a continuous cycle of giving and support. Through this initiative, we aim to perpetuate the values Yad held dear and make a positive impact, just as he did throughout his life.
At Day to Give Back (D2GB), our non-profit is committed to aiding Calgary's homeless population by providing care packages filled with essential items, all donated with the goal of “helping people, help people.” In light of the growing numbers of individuals experiencing homelessness, we have cultivated a community dedicated to supporting our neighbours in need. Khushi, the founder of D2GB, established this initiative with a simple but powerful mission: to give back to those facing hardship in our community while empowering others to do the same. She envisioned offering a helping hand in response to the challenges brought about by COVID-19, creating a platform for individuals to contribute to the betterment of our society and establishing a haven for those most vulnerable among us.
