If you could do something to end violence against girls and women, wouldn’t you?
I would be a perfect fit for this prevention & interventiom training program <3
I would love to register for this; however, I am currently in Summerland (@ a Safe House) & my belongings are scattered throughout Penticton. I was booted out by my husband of 20 plus years, booted out of my sis-in-law's place & have been homeless since June 2014.
It feels like things are finally coming together for me, as I am hanging on by a thread to my "faith" <3
It has been faith that kept me going when things looked bleak :)
I have had several small jobs to keep food in my tummy & enough to make small payments for my storage unit, I am in between jobs now, but I collect "welfare", its not that much for a couch surfer, but it helps with food & storage :)
I am always greatful for a bed to sleep on & nice warm meal :)
I realize that what Little I have is actually more than what others have, so I pray continually for the less fortunate <3
I miss my children & grandchildren immensely, but look forward to being re-united with them once my healing journey is complete <3
I pray that if I am meant to be in Vancouver for this training then God will make it happen <3
Xoxoxo
