There were tears of joy this morning when Clinton Howell announced this year’s Give Like Santa winner at Kelly’s Bake Shoppe in downtown Burlington.
Howell, who is the founder and owner of H2 Systems Inc. in Burlington and real estate representative with Royal LePage, along with Santa Claus, presented Sherri Moniyhan of Oakville, ON, with a $600.00 gift package to the young women who is undergoing some truly tough times.
Howell and Santa even presented Sherri’s two daughters, Hanora, 6, and Daisy, 3, with toys and treats.
Her close friend, Meghan Trigg, nominated her for the ‘pay it forward’ style contest.
Sherri has stage 4 terminal goblet cell cancer. Her husband also has a bad eye condition – a detached retina and is almost blind. There is no cure for this horrible cancer that Sherri has and she’s already undergone several extensive and life-threatening surgeries to remove the 70+ tumors in her body.
“I have all my angels with me today,” said Sherri as tears rolled down her eyes.
“I am beyond touched to be the winner of this year’s Give Like Santa Contest. I can’t even describe how I feel right now – I am at a loss for words. This is all so beautiful, and I am so moved with the news and I can’t thank Clinton and my family and friends for all their love and kindness; it means the world to me.”

A large group of Sherri’s friends and their children, all of whom have long supported her in her fight against this rare form of cancer, showed up at today’s special event.
While there is no known cure for the form of cancer she is battling, Sherri says she still has hope to beat it.
“It’s days like today that make me stronger,” she said. “A day like today is extra-special for me; I will keep fighting; I want to beat this cancer and enjoy many more years of celebrating Christmas with my husband, daughters, and friends.”
