Summary

I want to be a part of a Community that looks out for the weak( elders) and the weakest (homeless)... I have 40 yrs of experience and knowledge of homelessness...I'm very motivated to want to help and change the problem with an understanding of empathy and love.

I facilitated a home here in Victoria B.C which housed women who were transitioning toward a better life.This work was trying and difficult at times , but to have persevered to see some move forward to a better life eas heartfelt.

I did drug testing and made hard choices sometimes...

Always for betterment of our house.
