Buy a soldier a coffee?

As all our friends and family know, the hubs is spending the next 8 months (give or take a few weeks on break) in Kandahar. He’s already been in the sandbox for two months.

Living & working in a foreign country can stress a person in unexpected ways. Holding on to something normal and familiar can make all the difference in the world. For Canadian soldiers in Afghanistan, that something familiar is often as simple as buying a cup of coffee from Tim’s.

As with previous tours, I purchased & mailed a Tim Horton’s coffee card at the beginning of the tour. Since then I’ve learned that the card can be topped off online. So here’s hoping our friends, family & random strangers will buy hubs a coffee.

I ain’t too proud to beg. Put a smile on his face and buy him a cup of coffee.

Please note: The only way to load his coffee card is to log into his acct & use your visa or mastercard. A Tim card can only contain a max value of $100 at any given time. Friends & family can contact me for this info & instructions if they’d like to buy Drew a coffee.
