My daughter has been unhoused here in Victoria for 10 yrs. On the @BCHousing187551 list for over 5 yrs. She has been told she is too resilient....what the F*&C does that mean? The Bylaw and Cops here in Victoria are pushing ppl into the shadows, more are dying. @stopsweepsvan

Isaiah's mother is a single parent of two, and is in need of community support to hold them financially through this incredibly stressful time. A very active and generous member of her community, this MA request is a last resort for her. We are seeking funds to aid in the ongoing search, cover immediate and outstanding bills, and to support his mother and sister during this crisis. Without financial support, it is likely the family will default on payments essential to the continued search for Isaiah.

As we close out 2024, let’s remember the power we have to show up for others. Funds will be used for Murray to lay his wife to rest and for food & other necessities. He is grieving alongside many relatives, all while not having a home. Every share helps!

I am concerned by #Vancouver @ParksBoard's plan to evict residents of #CRABPark on November 7, 2024. I urge them to rescind this decision and to put in policies and practices that respect and protect the human rights of people experiencing homelessness. (1/5)
