November is #DomesticViolenceAwareness month in Canada. On Friday, a 25yo woman was found dead in Montreal along with her male partner in what police say was most likely a murder-suicide. Every six days a woman in Canada is killed by her intimate partner.montreal.ctvnews.ca/two-bodies-fou…

Today was stressful & hard. It was emotional. I broke down in tears along side my volunteers & a young mother of two, who felt like her world was ending. She wanted to save her children from what she's had to endure.

She didn't want to end up a statistic. She chose to leave a volatile living situation & move to a safe place where she began the process of living for herself & living for her children.
She chose life not abuse. She chose her kids over her partner. She chose smiles over tears.

She told all of us that she had been planning for over a year to leave & was on the verge of leaving when #Covid19AB happened.
She was scared/afraid/had panic attacks not knowing how to help herself let alone her children. Then she saw us on @GlobalCalgary with @global_leslie.

Please share this far & wide! Both @ParachutesP & @HarvestHillsYYC are trying to raise funds to help humans & pets this Christmas & beyond.
The amount of people needing a helping hand especially since the start of the #COVID19AB & #COVID19 pandemic has risen as each day goes by.

Earlier this year we began planning this raffle in hopes of being able to garner enough success out of this raffle to sustain both organizations for a month or more.
But we need #Calgary’s #Help. We #need #Canada’s #Help. We need #Alberta’s #Help.

On May 12, 1982, the body of 33 year old Debbie Race washed up on a Lake Superior shore. Her life jacket was intact & had kept her afloat so she did not drown, however it seems she had succumbed to hypothermia from the low temperature of the lake.
