Parker's Legacy Inspires National Alert Push | Calgary News

In a heartwarming outpouring of community love, over 200 stuffed animals were donated to the Calgary Food Bank in memory of 11-year-old Parker Wells, whose tragic death sparked an unprecedented wave of support. The gesture is part of more than 1,000 toys collected from vigils across the city, fueling a national push for a federal Indigo Alert system to better protect vulnerable children and adults with autism. With discussions set for fall between provincial leaders and federal officials, the community’s grief has turned into action — including sending toys to charities and even a foundation in Thailand, while the food bank plans to use them as birthday gifts for kids through its popular annual program. Donations in Parker’s name are still welcome to help keep this meaningful legacy alive. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
