Today I was driving in the NE in and around the neighbourhoods when I was about to turn around and head home when I saw someone flag me down.
A older gentleman and his girlfriend asked me if I had any water or anything to eat. @cmcalgary

I pulled over, put my flashers on. I got out to grab them some water and snacks and saw the older gentleman limping & in obvious pain.
When I say hobbling I mean every few steps he stopped to catch his breath because he was in so much pain.
That’s when I said I’d come to them.

I grabbed some bottles of water, snacks, some backpacks, and asked them if they needed anything else.
He told me his bandages had dried to his skin and that he was refused care at a place here in Calgary when he asked for a dressing change.

I was almost #attacked tonight. I was walking w/my friend back to her home tonight. We had encountered a young woman intoxicated &were trying to get her to the YWCA. 3 men ran out and up a small hill around the #library They had masks covering their faces and hoodies over hair
I watched them get closer as my friend stayed with this young intoxicated girl. Every step, they became faster. As they started literally charging across #stafforddrive I turned, faced them and yelled at them to #stop My friend was on the phone w/help & I kept #yelling
They retreated into the bus shelter outside the library. We Beelined to the YWCA
You know why they stopped? I looked one of them right in the eyes and I saw the small amount of skin visible. This man is #Caucasian & I don’t think they were expecting me or my friend to be #white
