It's Day 10 of the Gazette's 12 Days of Christmas Kindness Program, where we celebrate a local person who does good for others and do some good to them!
Today’s gift is going to Shannon Briegel, who was nominated by Gidget Dusza. Here’s what Gidget when we asked her why she nominated Shannon:
"Because she gives selflessly of herself even though she works full time has medical issues, helps with looking after her nephews when their parents work afternoon and nightshifts (one is with the Edmonton Police Service and the other is a RN) and staying with and looking after her 94-year-old grandmother pls also helping her 71-year-old mother! She never once thinks of herself or how all this is affecting her health issues, she just keeps going on and on and on!"
12 Days of Christmas Kindness is a series of videos running from Dec. 13 to 24 in the Gazette. Check out other videos in the series here:
DAY 1: "The heart of the neighbourhood"
DAY 2: "The angel of Facebook"
DAY 3: "Every street needs a light on it"
DAY 4: From Ukraine to St. Albert, with love
DAY 5: A heart of gold, a zest for life
DAY 6: Pet helper gets a treat
DAY 7: It takes a village to keep up with Helen
DAY 8: Neo-natal nurse gets noticed

We talked to our friends at St. Albert Costco, who came through with a $200 gift card for Shannon, and Swiss Chalet in Tudor Glen, who provided a $50 gift card for a festive meal for her.
