on 0 discrimination day, we do what we do every day - provide safe spaces for people to be treated with dignity and respect. We believe no one should feel isolated or invisible

Jeremy had been in treatment, used substances & wasn't allowed back (a common theme.) He reached out and asked me for help but never made it back to the clinic; he died. He was only 18. I've never forgotten our talks & I still miss him. I'm still fighting for you buddy. ๐
thank you to everyone who donates time, money, resources & skills to build community, connection and hope for people in need. please take care of you too
During heavy snow events, check on your family, friends and neighbours โ especially those who live alone or are seniors:
โ๏ธ Make sure they have groceries and essential medication
โ๏ธ Offer to help them with snow removal or hire a snow clearing service
