Sean's Smile - What we do

Our Mission:

Sean’s Smile was created for the purpose of honouring Sean’s desire to help those less fortunate. It is designed as a forum for raising funds in support of a variety of charities which we feel Sean would have been passionate about….. For the reasons explained below, the project is aptly called “Sean’s Smile”.

Why We Do What we do…

During the last conversation I had with Sean I asked him “what is making you smile these days?” He began to tell me about the children in Afghanistan, in particular a few little girls and boys that he saw on a daily basis. He told me about one little girl that, as he put it, was the most beautiful little girl he had ever seen. She and her siblings knew him by name and got excited whenever he was around passing out clothes and other necessities to people in the community. It was this part of his job; helping the children and their families, that gave him the greatest joy.

Sean was extremely proud and passionate about the work he was doing. He believed in his heart that what he was doing had a greater importance then most people could even imagine. He was extremely saddened to see the poor conditions that the children lived in and I know that he would have given anything to be able to provide them with the things they didn’t have. No matter how tired or worn down he was he always knew and felt that the work he was doing was making a difference, although I know he wanted to do more. Simply seeing the smiles on the faces of these young children provided him with the motivation and strength to continue to approach his military duties with the dedication he had always exhibited in all aspects of his life.
