Printing companies in Lethbridge, Alberta, may well find their services in demand from an Edmonton-based organization that wants to make a difference in the lives of families with children who are ill. The Tiny Light Foundation is the combined brainchild of photographer Billie Depatie and Melissa DePape. Their mission is to provide families who have been hit with high hospital costs for their child’s medical care free photos in order to start new memories.
The services that The Tiny Light Foundation offers families with unwell kids photos of a professional nature, as they feel that they represent a lot of personal meaning to the families of the sick kids because they see all the adversities they have been trough as a family unit—and how in some cases, they have come away from it stronger.
When the Tiny Light Foundation becomes a non-profit organization for real later in the year, its two founders plan to continue to spread the word about their free, professional service. In addition, they also plan to seek other photographers who are skillful in their ability to work with children. So far, another Canadian photographer—this one, almost across the whole country in Sudbury, Ontario—has already communicated an interest in spending time doing the work of The Tiny Light Foundation.
The printing companies in the area near Lethbridge, Alberta, may be inspired or moved somewhat by The Tiny Light Foundation's aims, and may wish to spread the word themselves to see if any professional photographers in their neighborhood are willing to donate time to a good cause.
