I wanted to remind you of the option to donate you

I wanted to remind you of the option to donate your vehicles to OK, you will get a tax receipt. Before we went into the stay-at-home order, we were on our last round of vehicles for the students at the auto shop. I am hoping to build the inventory back up so when we open back up the groups will not run out. We can pick it up, running or not!

With a huge skill set and a passion for developing

With a huge skill set and a passion for developing young men and women, Dave Driedger excels as mentor. Whether it's a wood lathe or a table saw, Dave seems to know every technique, jig to make, or project which would be easiest for every tool in the shop. As well, Dave is deeply passionate about mentoring young men and women. We want to thank Dave for all the work that he puts in, and for the unique skills he brings to the organization.

How do we move it? We have a new group of rowdy bricklayers that have been getting good quickly. Moving from walls right into pillars and arches. We don’t actually need to move it but if you come up with a unique idea I am listening.

Larry Hunt works hard throughout the day, and devotes one evening out of the week for shop time. Where he goes the extra mile is in building relationships with his students. Having spent years building into his two students, Matthew and Caleb, he has a great relationship with both of them. Recently, Larry shared that he and Matthew continue to chat outside of shop time through text. Larry is consistent, humble, and thoughtful while working with his students, both inside and outside the shop.

We get into some very unique projects some days. The first one is a concrete mold made by the electrical team (seems odd). This for the base of an LED light they are building. The other is a model car and that is a template for cutting one of the pieces.

Will Dyer dedicates his time every week by pouring

Will Dyer dedicates his time every week by pouring into the lives of youth Wednesday evenings in the auto shop. Two weeks ago Will had a new student come, and with his easygoing attitude he made the student feel at ease. Not only is Will a great mentor to the students, but he also appraises all the cars that are donated to Organized Kaos. Will is the one who helps us figure out what cars we should invest in and what to scrap. Thank you, Will, for all the time and effort you pour into making Organized Kaos the best that it can be.

For Sale
$1,995 plus tax and licensing
With getting our Car Dealership License we are going to be selling vehicles relatively regularly. All the money that comes from the sale of the cars goes right back into Organized Kaos. We teach the students to take pride in their work and the cars we fix. The cars we have are older because they have been donated but any car we fix is done well.
This is a 2006 Kia Rio5 with 220,000 km. New brakes, exhaust, suspension, fuel tank, and the tires are good. It has a manual transmission and is safetied. This car is such a deal that some on our team were seeing if any of their family needed a vehicle!

This week we want to highlight Alastair (Al) Wyatt a mentor at OK he teaches auto body repair to the students, taking dented up panels on a car and making them match the rest of the car. He does such skilled work with the kids that it's almost impossible to imagine what the car looked like before. Al dedicates his time to building into Jon and Kaden, his two students, with the same passion that he does with fixing dented cars.

Does one of you fine people want to fix this for u

Does one of you fine people want to fix this for us. It won't be easy, well I couldn't get it in 35min. This is a oscillating spindel sander and we can not get the spindel off to change papr sizes.

Brian brought in some logs he split that day and his students were loving using a combination of old hand tools and modern power tools to make legs (drawknife in the background and bandsaw in front). This week was extremely encouraging getting students and mentors back in the shop.
