Dear Friends, Family, and Kind Hearts,

In the midst of these uncertain times, our family is reaching out for support. Like many others, we’ve faced unforeseen challenges that have significantly impacted our livelihood. From unexpected medical bills to job instability, we find ourselves in a difficult situation where meeting basic needs has become increasingly challenging.

As parents, our primary concern is providing for our children and ensuring their well-being. However, the current circumstances have stretched our resources thin, making it difficult to cover essential expenses such as rent, utilities, groceries, and medical costs. Despite our best efforts, the financial strain continues to weigh heavily on us, leaving us feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about the future.

This fundraiser is a humble plea for assistance during this trying time. Your generosity can make a world of difference for our family, offering much-needed relief and peace of mind. Whether it’s a small contribution or sharing our story with your network, every act of kindness is deeply appreciated and goes a long way in helping us weather this storm.

We understand that times are tough for many, and we are incredibly grateful for any support you can offer, whether it’s financial assistance, words of encouragement, or simply keeping us in your thoughts. Together, we can overcome these challenges and emerge stronger as a family and community.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your compassion and generosity.

With gratitude

Alex, Kelly and Lauryn

As I sit and wonder ‘is this how life goes. Difficult task after another. Death after death. Does it end or is this forever?’

The answer is forever. Every month is a new death of a loved one, and yet another difficult hurdle to overcome.

You don’t forget the pain that this brings you. You become numb. After being numb for a while you spiral. When the spiraling is all set you take in the emotions again and then it becomes a vicious cycle.

Find someone to walk through life with you it’ll make the cycle easier and less painful.

Why Canada might just need a tenant revolution  - Macleans.ca

A Q&A with housing researcher Ricardo Tranjan 

Ricardo Tranjan wants Canadians to rethink what we call our national housing crisis. Tranjan, a researcher with the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, says what we’re experiencing can’t even be called a crisis—our housing system hasn’t suddenly failed. Instead it’s working exactly as designed, enriching property owners at the expense of everyone else. The problem is that it’s gone into sudden overdrive.

That’s why he thinks the fixes espoused by government and industry—more supply, for the most part—aren’t going to get us where we need to be. Instead, he wants to inject politics back into the housing discussion, framing the problem as an issue of class, with tenants on one side and landowners on the other.

The Impact Of Rising Costs And Inflation On Household Expenses

Rising costs and inflation have had a profound impact on the financial stability of many households, leading to significant challenges in meeting basic needs such as rent, groceries, and supporting families. As prices continue to soar across various sectors, individuals find themselves grappling with the burden of increased expenses that outpace their income growth. One major consequence is the struggle to pay rent.

Escalating housing costs force families to allocate larger portions of their monthly budget towards rent payments, sometimes exceeding half of their income. This leaves minimal funds for other essential expenses like groceries or healthcare. Furthermore, inflation directly affects the affordability and accessibility of everyday items. The steady erosion in purchasing power means that families must either cut back on vital purchases or resort to cheaper alternatives that may compromise quality or nutrition.

Ultimately, these economic pressures put immense strain on individuals striving to support their families.
