I finished at the library and helped at the Edmonton Food Bank with my practicum student before finishing the day.
My practicum student and I are on our way to meet a houseless mother at the library who had to take her children to stay with family so they could be safe. Things need to change so families can stay safe together.

Thank you to everyone who has liked, reposted, replied, and donated to support my work lately. I very much appreciate you all. The people I'm helping appreciate it even more.

If anybody wants to help me support this young Mom without means, please text or call me at 780-850-6254.
I think there is a correlation here. One tragic, the other is a government that doesn't invest in all Albertans. #abpoliwww.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
