This woman is a saint. In a world where people are so greedy this is so refreshing
But she needs to learn dead dead bodies aka meat only keeps you dumbed down and stupid, and sick meaning higher medical bills and poor quality of life.
Not a saint I’m sure like the rest of us but just a genuine kind and thoughtful person
@MadgeMackles talking about taking a comment too literal, they didn't mean an actual Saint
@@Da1n_0nly it takes a real intellect to understand my comment, sorry you didn’t get it.
If she were a saint she wouldn't have the image of a whore in the front of her store.
Galatians 6:7
7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
That senior spending 95% of her money on housing just breaks my heart
sounds like she didn't plan for retirement
Thats a miracle. She should be spending 100%
What breaks my heart is the system that causes ppl to liv eon edge
@@vander9678 So what? Personally, I don't think bad financial planning (could have been a financial emergency too) makes someone deserving of poverty.
@@vander9678 So privileged of you to say that. You don’t know everyone’s story.
Allow farmers to sell directly to the public. Lift the "supply management" laws.
Old people who thinks theyre crazy outlaw gangsters runs the milk and farmers management. They dont got the balls to pull the trigger but they sure act like theyre cartel bosses 😂 theyre just lucky the farmers arent gangsters themselves or theyd take over management like the gangs do
Canadian Dairy Comission
We have that in the US and it don’t help much
that would just make all the major corporate cattle farms etc undercut the mom and pop ranchers and drive them out of business
@@youtubeuser206 Think about your statement for a little while.
This woman gets it. Money and greed isn’t everything. There is no need for fancy cars, house, boats, jewelry, or any more accessories. We need to prioritize our community
Or investors demanding a higher return - which seems to me is what is driving inflation
We need more people like this!
it starts from you!
Or an economy that doesn't cause this...?
She need to make sure one of the bigger box store will not force them or take over her business to protect their business. One can become two can become three and it keeps going unless they control.
It's a nice idea. Note that her help is volunteer, she does't pay them wages or benefits, it's free gratis help, unlike stores where people want a 'living wage' along with paid days off, health care and other benefits.
@@eckankar7756 i hope this is satir 😭😭😭😭
Put all the big grocers to shame! 👍
They know no shame , they could care less if you starve .
Like Weston...
@@matzrat5006 The sad truth.
They avoid most of the prices in this segment, but the few that I'm seeing are greatly over priced from the 'big box stores'
Notice all her help is volunteer, not paid employees getting a wage, benefits, health insurance, etc.
She is an angel.
She said it best “ if I can give meat for these prices , why can’t the big box stores”. Support your local Champions!
This lady is a what humanity needs. I wish her and her team all the best!
I am very cynical about human kindness. She is a true rarity. Blessed and blessings
People like this give me hope. Pure selfless acts of kindness to her fellow human beings.
Hope begins with you.
She does everything in her power to rescue people from sleeping on a concrete street and eating from a garbage. That's pure saint. God bless this lady.
Amen
God bless this woman .
Who made this happen
"Don't hope for more people like her, be her."
We need more people like her in the world.
Wow. Shes amazing. No excuse for these big box stores
God bless this women and I sincerely mean that. This type of store is desperately needed within the Northern BC area.
And all over Canada.
Yes, this is what we need.Hopefully people will donate to her so she can keep doing what shes doing.
Tell this lady I love her.
If I'm shopping there and saving $50 per visit versus other stores, I'm tipping $5 every visit minimum . Because that's affordable and I hope everyone that can pitch in $1-$20 here and there are to help this running and helping seniors ! Amazing ! This is volunterrwork done right !!
But you're not shopping there
This woman is a true hero!
well said.
What a loving, caring woman. We need more people like her who will give so much despite having hard times herself. Thank you Brigida for all that you do.❤
I can't stop watching this!!! .God bless ❤❤❤❤❤
What else can I say ...an amazing person with a heart of gold.
God bless her❤
True empathy ❤
Thats tge problem with big corporations, they demand annual growth and increase in profits, where your old school mom and pop stores just needed to have a living wage, unlimited growth is insane and is demanded by ALL big corporations
The bigger the store more employees are needed and have to pay employees, more bills etc. My grandma used to run a grocery and my dad says the smaller the store it is easier to run and sell cheap while making a suitable profit.
I wish our government can see this and help the bigger stores to follow😢 Feeding the people is more important than sending weapons oversea, times are hard.
@dodobird Compassion isn't a zero-sum game. There are enough resources in Canada to help people buy groceries AND stand by Ukraine against the pitiless madman destroying their entire country. If you want to put it in terms of self-interest, Ukraine is the bread basket of Europe like our prairies are here. Helping Ukraine will prevent famine and hardship in all the places that depend upon them. Weapons now is cheaper than famine aid later.
There is enough to go around. ❤
@@gmkbelanger certainly there is more than enough to go around, but the brass at the top are the most insecure megalomaniacs hoarding it all for themselves while the masses suffer and struggle to survive daily.
America the great enabler.
To the point we are codependent and weak.
America. Played its citizens for the money grab, and now being played by other countries.
And brought to poverty.
America the great set up.
Rest in peace we are done. Over and out.
This a wonderful service to the community. The world needs more people and places like this ❤❤
We need more ppls like her . What a angel ❤
I am not part of your community, but thank you for doing this. God is watching and I know he is so very proud of. May your leadership be infectious. Thank you God bless
Shame of this government, not giving affordable living for seniors, greate job , we all need to help out her and give support
we need more ppl like her serving our communities across canada
These are the true champions of our society, not these politicians.
The world is a better place because of this angel ! Thanks be to God !
Its not cheaper its affordable...... Love it
a real Hero!
There needs to be more people like Brigida in this world! 🥺💕
Every town and city should have a store like that
This is what it's all about. I love your Model and hope it catches on.
What a wonderful & generous person... I hope she also finds her happiness in life after her hardships....
You're a hero, we need more people like you. Thank you.
what a generous lady
Brigida and her volunteers are true hero's! So much respect for all you're doing to support the community you live in.
Wow your an awesome lady
I can't afford meat even at those prices... a package of ground beef is a luxury that I buy once every two weeks - it gets diluted massively into batches of chili and spaghetti sauce - I don't feel that I'm really deprived at all? I'm just mystified and mildly sympathetic cuz obviously these people really appreciate being able to buy and consume meat from this lady, so that is really nice of her.
Thank you for giving people a chance to afford the food they deserve! You are an inspiration.
🥰 I love this lady and her volunteers...Amazing! Keep at it you're all genuinely kind souls ❤
Bless this woman. Such kindness and heart. ❤️💕
this woman is amazing
Even though there's an underlining issue of how so many are struggling, this story made my day to see a community praise a good soul who is there to help them and help one another.
Blessings to Ms. Crowlie.
C.H.A.M.P.I.O.N.
How a majority of us are 'just' hearing about and learning of this dynamic human shows how impossibly horrendous our news has gotten. (Chilliwack, BC is store location located within Fraser Valley of the Lower Mainland ...for those seeing this from elsewhere and want to donate to their seniors care packages)
Brigida is amazing! An absolutely wonderful human being!
That lady is an hero, I hope she can get the help she need to run the shop
This women is amazing. Share with us how we can donate to her seniors program!
This is just beautiful. People helping other people
Brigida is what we say an untold hero, she does what she can whithout making the big buck. She's able to make a living without gouging peoples pockets. I wish Canada had more stores like her. Brava to her and her helpers 💯🖐👌👍👏👏👏👏👏👏🙏💕🌹🌹🌹🌹
This beautiful lady is doing God will. May many blessings pour over her. She have giving me a wonderful thought…
She is a hero❤
She's doing a wonderful job, bless her.
God bless her!
Heart of GOLD !! The rare breed these days !
Such a wonderful woman
This is community. The world needs more people like this woman.
Fantastic. This store needs more publicity. See what positive change even one person can make.
She's an angel. God bless her heart.
I love this! This is where it's at. Total boss, total top-G, she got the whole community behind her.
I live with my mother and sister but recently we become renovicted at a trailer park in Surrey; I worry where we will live in the future daily. I try to help my senior mother afew days a week with supper (food) plus my other sister helped with Cloverdale Community Kitchen.
It is too bad there is no Tydel Foods out in Surrey with more affordable meat prices; way out in Chilliwack. I usually goto Canadian Superstore and Dollorama (have sometimes good canned fish at ok price but even that went up abit). Thanks for sharing your story and nice to know to is some love in the world.
I think that this is an awesome idea. We need A LOT more of this. That one older woman, tho. The one whose pension goes 95% to rent. I played that part twice to make sure that I heard her correctly. That's insane! 😱
Awesome to be so giving to your community! Many blessings! GO TYDEL FOODS!!
What a great warrior who learnt from her experiences and empowered herself using 💓 to help humanity; by doing God's work, blessings to her and her cause
This is an AMZING person!! We need more people like her!!!
This is so wonderful, we need more people like her
God bless this grocery
What a wonderful and caring human being! We need more Regina’s in the world! So caring and thoughtful. To bad the government’s of this country could not help out like Regina does. As well as the big grocery stores themselves. We need more kindness and love not division and hate! Maybe this story will give thoughts to other people how to do things differently. Where there is HOPE. ❤️🙏🏼
My like is giving to this wonderfully kind lady
Hello maam’, you are such an inspiration. Thank you for saving low income family where government cannot reciprocate the things you do. ❤
Bless her. She's right on target -- Why can't those greedy Supermarket chains charge less ? They are dispicable !
because they need to make a proft while paying for costs of good sold
It's disgusting that the citizens who built this country have to struggle to get by.
We must live well below our means for our whole lives to save for retirement and buy a place to live because rent is a poverty trap
@@happycook6737 absolutely TRUE. I was a single mom hairdresser and I bought a house, saved and invested. I'm retired now and so happy I knocked myself out when I was young working so I could afford a comfortable time in life with work was no longer an option. The story of the Grasshopper and the Ants got me motivated when I was young. My coworkers laughed at me working overtime to buy a house, I wonder where they are now.
@J Vlk No, times have changed, that was my point. We had plenty of opportunity when we were young to get an affordable house yet so many didn't bother. I worked 60 hours a week for 15 years to get my house and make investments. By then the investments were making money for me. The video isn't about today, it's about retirees that never bothered to prepare for their senior years. It's not just about you, you, you, you, you, you.
You are a wonderful lady, the world needs more of you.
She's a true definition of an amazing person. God bless you and many blessings coming your way. This story made my day! ❤
"cause a heart of gold, no it don't come cheap. And a heart of gold, is what this world will need". -Citizen soldier. Thank you, ma'am, from all those whom you have helped.
❤️i respect her so much for what shes doing
Thank you 🙏
God bless that lady. Inspiring
This should be a main story for the media; those big stores have no shame or conscience!
Truly amazing women. This shows us just how much the big box stores gouge us. (Just wish her shoppers would take re usable bags to save her money )
Amazing person. Props to her
The world needs more people like this woman💓
I just started watching your channel tonight. I'm living in Ohio. There is so much poverty and homelessness surrounding this small town alone. It would be a miracle to see something as beautiful as what your doing in your community to happen here. It's a crying out everyday shame here and all over America. Where does it end? Everything goes up but the income to barely survive.
God Bless You Mam 🙏
Love this!
Bless this woman and her shop.
There was actually a small building on Broadway that sold affordable for decades. very quietly. wasn't open al the time. those places have been around, they just didn't get noticed outside the comm.
God bless this woman. Wish there were more like her.
Well done! Great job!
Absolutely right the big box stores just about money
Your amazing and right it is about helping each other
Her help is volunteers and she sells one item. Big Box stores sell thousands of items pay their employees and give them benefits. This is nice but doubtful a large grocery would have a total volunteer staff to cut costs.
What a lovely lady, hopefully she influences “influencers” to do the same
I wish she could continue this for as long as she can. She's doing so much goodness in her community
Bigger box stores hire more people, create jobs, have shareholder return on stocks, pay taxes and pay for staff benefits and above all sponsor ads and media ads, benefitting overall economy. But you are brave enough to help poor people. I admire your help to society.
99% of the jobs the biggest box stores give are terrible min wage jobs and also they waste tremendous amounts of food because are capitalism system is completely broken and it’s considered a liability to give food away that is about to expire so they just throw in trash
