In this quarter, A peer developed a rapport with an unhoused individual in the community. The individual felt safe connecting with the Peer and letting her know she was struggling with not being able to afford a market housing damage deposit and first-month rent. The Peer connected the individual to the MCC rent bank and advocated for them during an interview. MCC agreed to help the individual with said amounts, and the individual was able to move into her new basement bachelor suite the next day. The individual was incredibly grateful, and the Peer was very excited she could help the individual in a housing crisis in such a powerful way.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the wonderful mothers and mother figures out there. Thank you for everything that you do!
We also recognize that there are some who find this day bittersweet or triggering. Let's be mindful that Mother’s Day can be difficult for those who have lost children and for those yearning to be mothers. Similarly, many individuals are missing their moms or wishing they had a healthier relationship. Our thoughts are with you all.🥰

Hello everyone! We are excited to continue our segment called" What is your Why?"
Today, Tamara our Community Support Worker, shares her reason for dedicating her time to our organization.
“I have a passion for working with strong, brave, and courageous women and children. Through my position at Sara for Women, I can positively impact the lives of our clients by providing them with information and resources that help empower them and further achieve their goals. I am given the opportunity to advocate for these individuals when they feel that their voice is not being heard. I am able to be there for the women and children who walk through our doors when they need someone the most.” – Tamara
