A Timely Decision

Melanie joined the World Vision Canada family in February 2022.

For years, Melanie and her husband Dan had contemplated creating a Will but had never taken the plunge. The loss of their fathers in the past five years served as a poignant reminder of the importance of planning for the future, especially with two small children to consider. When World Vision partnered with the online will service Epilogue to offer a discount for creating Wills, they knew it was time.

A Gift of Purpose

Melanie decided to include a gift to World Vision in her Will because she believes the organization is a blessing to their family. In 2021, Melanie faced a life-changing choice between staying true to her faith or continuing a 20-year career. Choosing faith meant stepping away from her job without a clear path forward, but it ultimately led her to a new role at WVC that aligned with her values.

Planning for the Future

Melanie and Dan have created a Will that not only protects their family’s future but also leaves a lasting legacy of faith, impacting generations to come. Through this contribution, Melanie hopes to help others experience the blessings her family has found through World Vision Canada.
