šŸ§µ Another person in our community died today. šŸ’” I knew him. šŸ’” I had been helping him and his partner for the last few months. They were trying to exit out of homelessness. They were supported by outreach teams who had gotten them into a motel. #yyj Him and his partner have only been homeless for a short time. Since the start of the pandemic. He had his Red Seal ticket in the trades and wanted to get into housing, so he could go back to work. This was the tent that my mom bought them to replace the many, taken by bylaw.
