It wasn't easy, let me tell you.
I worked hard cleaning AND, CLEANING....making beds, cleaning toilets, commuting and trying to create paintings to sell, making soap and websites and social media....
and friends and family helped and well I am ok. I made it. Hurray! I can breathe for a bit.
Everything is much more expensive
BUT I'M NOT LIVING IN A TENT ON THE STREET IN VANCOUVER.
Which sadly is a really for many women my age, women all ages.
So sad. I can't imagine an YET THIS IS REALITY, so scary!!!!!!
Just yesterday someone was stabbing people in the tentcity, and a while back someone set someone on fire and a while back someone shot homeless people. It is INSANE. I HAVE NEVER SEEN IT SO BAD.
So for 6 months I am in Mexico and praying that when I get home that a bunch of social programs are implemented and the government and people show they ACTUALLY CARE about women, mothers, sisters, daughters, nieces, grandmas.
THAT SOMEONE ACTUALLY CARES ABOUT HUMANITY AND NOT $$$$$$$$$$$
Imagine YOUR grandma or mom forced onto the street. This is the reality for many women in Canada right now. And we are a 1st world country. Shameful Billionaires allow this. Shame anyone with power and money allows this. Shame. Shame!!
