Help Whitney raise money

For participating in 2022 Vancouver Half Marathon

My Story…

This is my second year of running and raising for WISH Drop-In Centre Society! 

Last year I raised $525 and I want to at least double that this year! WISH continues to be on the front lines of offering support and resources to women and gender-diverse sex workers in the Downtown Eastside, and their work is vital for more than essential services, they are a lifeline and a community. 

"For over 35 years, WISH has welcomed 330-350 participants to the Drop-In Centre on average every night and day. Demand increases every year. The Drop-In Centre supports the physical, emotional and mental well-being of its participants.

The centre is a place for street-based sex workers to get a hot meal, use showers, and collect clothing as well as personal care items such as toiletries, beauty products, first aid or feminine hygiene products they would otherwise not have access to. We serve approximately 9000 meals every month. Donation rooms are accessed an average of 1,800 times each month."

My goal of $1000 is a drop in the bucket, but I hope you'll help me reach that goal! Let's keep the pace up and race for WISH! 

Donate to help Whitney raise money for 2022 Vancouver Half Marathon’s fundraising campaign.
