My Story…
This cause is really close to my heart… For those of you who don’t know me that well, I’ve struggled with my mental health and trauma over the years. Last year, it seemed to culminate and I desperately wanted to end my own life. I ended up spending some time in Toronto just to access better services than those we had available here in Thunder Bay. I also wanted to remain anonymous when accessing services, knowing how gossip-ridden this city is. Obviously, I’m past it now (and am extremely thankful for my colleagues, friends and family!!!). Now is the time that I’m ready to be an advocate. We really need to keep improving the supports available in Thunder Bay because we’re not all lucky enough to have so the ability to access services when we desperately need them. Please consider donating 💙
