Added 2021-08-23 22:43:50 +0000 UTCThank you again to those who joined during my promotion the other week. I have sent my donation and wanted to pass on the email I received from WISH, since I couldn't have made the contribution without you :) ******* Thank you for your support of WISH and the women in our community during these extraordinary and unsettling times. On behalf of the WISH Drop-In Centre Society, please accept our appreciation for your generous donation. Your donation to the WISH Drop-In Centre Society is more important to participants than ever before. Your support helps keep the WISH Drop-In Centre open and the MAP Van on the road. Now more than ever, the health and safety of women who depend on WISH – whose lives are already difficult – is paramount. Women who come to WISH are already at risk for being homeless or living on the street, facing violence, discrimination and trauma. During the COVID-19 crisis, WISH has seen a dramatic increase in the number of women relying on our services. Women are unable to find safe spaces and are coming to remaining frontline services to sleep, shower and eat. And there is a growing amount of food scarcity—including among folks who never struggled to find food previously. We know that with courage and community we can weather this crisis. Your donation not only helps WISH participants weather this crisis now, it ensures that they will have access to the all the WISH services they will need in the coming months. We are deeply grateful for your support and generosity. With gratitude, Mebrat Beyene Executive Director
