Marvelous Little Things

There has been a steady increase in the rate of single-parent households in the past 30 years. This increase has been notable in the African Canadian and Caribbean communities in the Toronto area. Mental issues like depression and feelings of isolation end up being a common result of the lack of resources. Too often this goes unnoticed and undiagnosed, enabling the damage to be passed on to the next generation   At Marvelous Little things we hope to help expose our single mothers and their children to experiences and opportunities that their financial situation may not permit.  We know one of the best ways to promote well-being and self-awareness is through a connection with nature. Studies have shown that a frequent walk among trees and spending time in the sun help our mental well being in numerous quantifiable ways. While experiencing the outdoors in a safe welcoming environment can aid a child’s development in numerous immeasurable ways.
