A group of Yellowknife moms came together to help foster mom Hannah Geissler after her stroller was stolen on July 24.

SA国际影视传媒淟ast summerSA国际影视传媒 I was gifted a double chariot. It was in rough condition then, but it was a chariot and it was awesome. At the end of the summer, my kids and I love walking around the city. ItSA国际影视传媒檚 a beautiful small spot,SA国际影视传媒 said Geissler, who lives downtown. SA国际影视传媒淭he more we can get outside, the happier they are. It works out for all of us. So, to have this stroller gifted to me was amazing.SA国际影视传媒

She said she never bothered locking up the stroller due to its condition and proximity to her apartment building, where she stored it.

SA国际影视传媒淟ike I said, it was given to me and it was pretty banged up, but it did the job for us.SA国际影视传媒

Geissler was surprised to find her chariot was no longer in the area one morning.

SA国际影视传媒淲hen my boys and I were on our way out of the house around 9:30 (a.m.), I kind of peeked down under our porch where I normally park it and didnSA国际影视传媒檛 see it there. I kind of looked up and down the alley behind my building and went, SA国际影视传媒楬uh? I wonder where it is?SA国际影视传媒橲A国际影视传媒 she recalled. SA国际影视传媒淎t the time, we were on our way out the door. I didnSA国际影视传媒檛 really have a chance to stop and take a look.SA国际影视传媒

Geissler hoped that the stroller would be returned by the time she and her boys came back home, but it was still nowhere to be found.

SA国际影视传媒淔ive oSA国际影视传媒檆lock, we come back and itSA国际影视传媒檚 still not home,SA国际影视传媒 she said. SA国际影视传媒淎t that point, I did do a quick Facebook post to the salvagers page and a couple of the mom-to-mom groups, knowing how helpful Yellowknife is, saying SA国际影视传媒楬ey, if anyone happens to have seen my stroller, give me a shout. We love it, weSA国际影视传媒檙e looking for it. ItSA国际影视传媒檚 be nice to have it back.SA国际影视传媒橲A国际影视传媒

It did not take long for Geissler to get positive feedback on her post.

SA国际影视传媒淲ithin three-and-a-half hours, I had multiple people sharing and commenting and posting on my post, saying, SA国际影视传媒淥h, a lot of people have seen it down at Black Knight, a lot of people have seen it walking with a certain individual.SA国际影视传媒 So I was able to gather enough information to give the police a fairly comprehensive report when I reported it.SA国际影视传媒

Geissler was taken aback by the subsequent outpouring of kindness, and even more so when one of the moms offered to pick up a new chariot for her and her kids.

SA国际影视传媒淚t was the amazing,SA国际影视传媒 she said. SA国际影视传媒淚t goes beyond words. The mom network here in Yellowknife really pulled together. I had three different people tag me in a post for a double chariot that was on the other side of town in the salvagers group. When I commented that I wouldnSA国际影视传媒檛 be able to pick it up because I couldnSA国际影视传媒檛 fit it in my vehicle (at) the same time as my kids, a mom, Sasha Shirley, actually offered to go pick it up for me and drop it off to my house.

SA国际影视传媒淪o within three-and-a-half hours of posting that my chariot was missing, I had a new chariot in my driveway SA国际影视传媒 locked up this time SA国际影视传媒 thatSA国际影视传媒檚 actually in better condition than the one that went missing, which was really cool,SA国际影视传媒 she said.
