Thank you to everyone who has made 2023 so memorable. We truly appreciate the kindness, encouragement and support we receive from our family, friends and supporters.
We wish you joy, happiness, health and peace in the New Year!
We look forward to continuing our mission of helping Olivia do “great things” in 2024 as we continue to help animals, our youth and those less fortunate in 2024 💥
Are you one of the organized folks that has all your Christmas shopping done and wrapped under the tree? Or one who hasn’t started? Maybe you have just few items left to grab for stocking stuffers?
We’ve got you covered! Olivia’s Signature Tree items are great gift ideas. We have hoodies, tees, pop sockets, ornaments, coffee mugs, wine glasses and all things in between.
We can’t think of a better way to get your shopping completed while you support a fantastic local non-profit. Help us continue our mission to help Olivia do “great things!” by considering one of Olivia’s Signature Tree items for your loved one 🎄
(Contact dale@livstrust.com for availability of hoodies, tanks and tees)
As some of you know, Olivia loved school and especially loved shopping for schools supplies. Since we know how difficult this time of year can be for families who are already stretched thin with the rising costs of every day life, we can think of no better way than to help those families by donating supplies to take some of that burden from them.
Olivia’s Trust is thrilled to once again donate back-to-school supplies! We have been doing this every year since we began and this time we have donated $725 worth of supplies for all age levels and grades (special thank you to our supporters who donated specifically for this endeavour) 🙂
We want to wish all the kids heading back to school in the next few days a wonderful year of learning, enrichment and of course, fun 🙂
The most wonderful time of the year is here as kids are heading back to school in a few weeks. However, for many families this is a very stressful and expensive time of year as well.
With the cost of every day life seemingly rising by the minute, we know the added stress of getting all the necessary back to school items may be out of reach. That’s where we aim to help out 🙂
If you are shopping and can afford to grab an item or two, please do so. Your simple act of kindness will benefit a student going back to school in September and possibly ease the burden on some families in your community.
The Olivia Jollota Memorial Trust, with the support of Tim Halman, MLA Dartmouth East will be a accepting donations at the Dartmouth East Constituency office at 73 Tacoma Drive (Suite 204). We can also accept donations at Jym Line Glassware Ltd. located at 23 Venture Crescent in Elmsdale or you can reach out to Dale via email (dale@livstrust.com) to make alternate arrangements.
Any donation is welcome and needed. If you cannot get out to purchase school supplies, consider a donation to Olivia’s Trust and let us do the shopping for you.
Let’s make this year amazing for our students 😊

Today, December 10, Olivia’s Trust is dropping off 120 beautiful Hallmark greeting cards with a hand-written sentiment for the Christmas Cards for Northwood initiative.
Olivia’s Nanny Pye was a nurse at Northwood and remembered many residents did not have family to send them cards or gifts so this initiative is very dear to our hearts on many levels.
If you would like to participate, there will be a Jack 92.9 booth today outside the Rogers store at Mic Mac Mall from 10-1 or you can drop off at at Rogers stores, Jack 92.9 or Northwood offices (check out the Jack 92.9 page for more detailed information) 🎄
November 29 is Giving Tuesday. Please consider the Olivia Jollota Memorial Trust for your donation this year .
Your donations allow Olivia to continue to do “great things!” in our community as we support animals in need, our youth and those less fortunate 💜
How do you even begin to explain the loss of a child? You can’t. It’s as simple as that. There are no words…
Even after 10 years I still can’t articulate how Olivia’s death has affected me, her family, her friends or those close to her. It’s just not possible.
What I can tell you is how much she changed the lives of those who knew her during the 15 years we got with her…. Simply put, she changed our lives for the better.
All those who know her through reading or hearing “Olivia‘a Story” have also been changed. I’m told time and again that they share her story with others. She lives on in the hearts and minds of every single person she touched in whatever form. We hope Olivia’s kindness, compassion and lack of judgement is an example to everyone.
We can only hope that we have that much of an impact with the lives we live and the way we make others feel. Try to help in your community when and where you can. Reach out to others in need even when they don’t ask for help. Share what you have. It’s amazing what small gestures can have the largest impact.
In short, be like an Olivia ♥️
