The Durham community responded and helped the homeless through donations and sleeping bags for Back Door Mission! 👍🏻It’s still very cold! They need donations of gloves and boots. If you can help call Doreen 905 444 3245. Pls retweet!

@jeffpreston Thank you Jeff excellent suggestions. I’ll contact my local MP today! I’m a social worker. Advocacy is in my blood. Be well.

On top of a full time job, my partner drives 5 days a week to Port Hope to help care for his disabled son who had to leave his congregate living home. He needs a vaccine now! Why are people with disabilities always the last on the list? @jeffpreston #accessibility #socialjustice

[Lorraine @lcloss46]

@jeffpreston Thank you Jeff. It’s been a long year...how would you recommend we advocate for people with disabilities to be given vaccination priority?

[Lorraine @lcloss46]

@DanielleHarder1 Oh no!! Can I sign your cast? 😊 hope you’re on the mend soon.
