在加拿大温哥华市,一位 62 岁的亚裔妇女通过每天收集空瓶子,向卑诗省癌症基金会(B.C. Cancer Foundation)总共捐赠了近 15,000 加元。
21年来,这位名叫 Gia Tran 的妇女几乎天天都会去卑诗省癌症基金会的办公室,把自己捡回收瓶子后换来的钱交给基金会。
卑诗省癌症基金会说,这么多年来,Gia Tran 交给基金会的钱大约已经达到 15,000加元。
Even though her children have tried to get her to slow down, Tran says she ignores them and heads out to collect bottles nearly every day.
20多年如一日
加拿大广播公司报道说,Gia Tran 住在 Hastings 和 Main 街附近,她天天在这个地区散步,寻找可以回收的瓶子。
等自己的袋子装满了空瓶子,她就走到商店,把瓶子换成钱,然后直接去卑诗省癌症基金会,有的时候她走过去,有的时候乘公共汽车。

从商店去基金会,这段路程可不短,即使乘公共汽车过去也需要大约45分钟。
对于自己如何能坚持这么多年,Gia Tran 解释说,21年来,这已经变成了一个习惯, 她说,我觉得这样做,让大家高兴,我也高兴。

A beautiful story, may she stay healthy and happy as always. She is deserved to be in the next version of the World Needs More Canada book.

Gia is a beautiful Lady. What a wonderful thing to do to help others. I see that she is missing a tooth on her upper jaw. Do we have any wonderful dentists out there that would like to donate a tooth implant to her? She earned it!
