REGINA -- Nearly a year ago, Aaron Driol was injured. As a result he has been nearly immobile, and out of work.
His mother recently nominated him for a contest put on by the Federated Co-op called Holiday Helpers, which aims to help those in need during the holidays.
“It was a big surprise. It was really cool to receive.” Driol said.
He recently was given approval from his doctor to begin walking again.
“It’s been a bit of a rough year and that’s kind of what the purpose of the giveaway was and I was really grateful that I was chosen.”
The gift basket contained around $100 in goodies like candies, chips, and other assorted Co-op food items, as well as a $250 gift card. He said the gifts have been a big help during an expensive time of year.
According to Co-op, the campaign takes place in December.
