My Story…

MY WHY!

In March I celebrated 4 years at Trellis Society. When I wonder why I am here, it is a simple answer. 

Belonging and futures.

When people arrive at a Trellis door, they matter, they are welcome, and through conversations and connections, they build plans with our trained counsellors and therapists to stay the course in school, maintain housing, access employment programs, set their kids up in recreational programming, and access mental health supports.

One Mom, who was determined for better for her children, accessed multiple supports. She then volunteered and found a passion, and went back to college and now has her sights set on becoming a counsellor herself, with her compassion and lived experience.

And when the time was right, she invited her Trellis counsellor to meet her at her bank. And when they met, she handed back some of the funds which she had been given to support her. 

Because she knew someone else could use that support ahead. In the future.

Whatever you give, I thank you, and I appreciate you.

Here's to our One Door. To belonging and to growing futures.....

p.s. I have never, in my sport-playing (still at soccer) life, done a 5km. According to a quick Google...the: 
Average Time to Walk 5km by Age !!! for Females is: 
1 hour and15 minutes... after the race I'll update on how I did!

p.p.s. Donations are being accepted up to June 24th! Again, I appreciate you considering this and whatever you give is so appreciated!

THANKS EVERYONE FOR DONATING TO ME AND TO MY COLLEAGES! The walk took us 50 minutes, and it was an easy stroll... with a couple of speeded up moments! Really enjoyed it and I am inspired to try it again!  Thank YOU for your support! Honestly touched by the generosity!
