My Story…
I am humbled by working for Trellis Society and the amazing lives they have impacted and provided assistance in shaping over the years. This is only possible, thanks to the amazing donors and supporters for believing and investing in the work that is achieved.
I am running for my late aunt, who took years and years to leave an abusive husband....I wish an organization like Trellis was closer to her so she would have had the wrap around supports when she needed it.
I am running for my friend who was an accomplished climber and professor who succumbed to an opioid overdose and is now part of the statistics.
I am running for my colleagues, the front line staff who are meeting people at their most vulnerable state and TRULY making a difference in their lives. For some this is the difference between life and death, others this is a meaningful connection, a sense of belonging in the community and/or culture, financial assistance, employment & education opportunities, a bed for youth whom are experiencing homelessness, and a place to play for kiddos after school and so much more.... Thank you for making Calgary and surrounding areas a better place to live....for everyone!
