ASPIRE TO INSPIRE

"Aspire to Inspire" has been an ongoing series of charitable initiatives since 2016. Our mission is to serve hope among individuals and animals, one at a time. What

started out as 100 care packages in its inaugural year, has continually increased

over the years. Though the stomping grounds of this campaign started in the GTA,

it expanded to Northern Ontario and has been featured on CTV during our

founder, Rebecca Nobrega’s tenure there. Now we are back in the GTA with the

goal to reach more communities. All this has been possible through generous

donations from the community and invaluable volunteers.

We did it! Our 9th Annual Christmas Care Drive has officially been completed! Each holiday season, we focus on three core initiatives: 

1. Creating and distributing care packages across the GTA

2. Hosting a Christmas dinner for a shelter in need

3. Collecting and donating to local animal shelters and rescues

This year, we’re proud to say that we surpassed our goal! 

Thanks to everyone’s incredible generosity, we created, collected, and delivered 420 packages that made Christmas brighter for so many. On December 14, 2024, we hosted our annual dinner for a shelter in need, bringing joy and warmth to 55 women and children. They received not only the care packages but also a warm meal, gifts delivered by Santa, a fun-filled day with activities like face painting, gingerbread house making, coloring, and visits from special Marvel characters. It was truly a day full of love and joy. We also successfully delivered our animal donations to Sue’s Rescue, where the furry friends received much-needed love and care. Every year, we’re reminded that kindness extends to all, and we’re proud to support those who care for animals in need.

We want to extend our deepest gratitude to the incredible businesses, organizations, and community members who made our 9th Annual Christmas Care Drive a huge success. Your generosity and support have truly made a difference!

A special thank you to our sponsors!

We are overwhelmed with gratitude and joy as we extend a HUGE thank you to everyone—businesses, schools, community members, and volunteers—who generously gave their time, resources, and support. You are the heart and soul of this initiative, and your kindness has touched countless lives.

Behind every package was an outpouring of love, care, and dedication. It’s not just about the items inside—it’s about the love, the time, and the effort that went into every detail. Every donation, every volunteer, and every moment of effort has made this possible, and for that, we are truly grateful.

This wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible support of our community. Your generosity has created a ripple of kindness that has made a lasting impact on the lives of those who need it most. While we may not change the whole world, together, we’ve certainly changed many lives. Every act of kindness, big or small, has contributed to something truly magical.

We are so thankful to all of you for making this holiday season brighter for so many. It truly takes a village, and we couldn’t have done it without you. Your love and support have created lasting change, and we are forever grateful.

With all our love and appreciation,
Rebecca & The Aspire to Inspire Team
