Thank You Hayley, Thank You Ryan, Thanks To Everyone WHOS Helping. My Daughter is going into different homes, every day, so she has to go to work, as PSWS, in Ontario. I’m sick and have CRPS, an autoimmune disorder, living on 1100 a month, after working so hard for yrs, I understand, as I did 82 hours a week for yrs, after my husband left because I got sick, it’ was really hard to survive prior to this, now there’s very little left .Now we’re literally without masks, to go into grocery store or pharmacy, @ and we have to literally be out of this house, after this virus, as in the blink of an eye, lives are changed. I pray also people think about those who are not contagious, but also have an autoimmune disorder and can no longer work., if rent is 20 + utilities, how can one survive ? They can’t, living on 1100 a month is beyond hard, and degrading .I lost literally everything I had worked for, so I know what these people are feeling. So we literally have to find someplace to rent. I’m so grateful everyone has come together like this . ❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦 Stay Safe Everyone!
