Help Jianna raise money

For participating in 2021 Scotiabank Vancouver Half-Marathon & 5K

My Story…

Lately, with the pandemic, almost everything I do is for the women and children of Dixon. After working for two years in Dixon's admin office, I went back to school in September 2020 and was very happy to have the opportunity to stay on as a Women's Support Worker at Dixon House, which means I'm now an essential worker and I feel the weight of this pandemic in a particular way, and I wash my hands, wear my mask, and stay home so that I can make sure that I do my part to keep the transition house free from COVID.

But I also count myself lucky! I can only imagine what a weight this pandemic is on the families we serve. Coming to Dixon means being in a safe place, but I also know that for kids it can be a time of adjustment, sometimes filled with confusion, frustration, and fear, even before the pandemic. I know that our child support program gives kids a chance to not just have safety, but healing, playing, laughter, and childhood, and that's why I'm running this year! Our child support program has always been vital, but it's even more important during the pandemic. But it's also entirely donor-funded. That means the kids of Dixon need you!

If you can, please donate to help keep the child support program at Dixon and help me go the #DistanceForDixon. Then once this pandemic is over, I can't wait to give those kiddos a big hug on behalf of all of us and I hope they'll feel just how much you care :)

Donate to help Jianna raise money for 2021 Scotiabank Vancouver Half-Marathon & 5K’s fundraising campaign.
