Thanks to your supportive boosts - I received some more donated funds yesterday ❤️ A total of $260.43 CDN was received after fees were deducted. That helps me get closer to fundraising goal 🙌 I appreciate all the help from kind souls.

$1,397.02 CDN in donated funds had been received as of 7:40am on June 12th.
$2,330 − $1,397.02 = $902.98
Total still needed: $902.98

If you can donate anything at all to help me pay for fixed dentures, please use my PayPal or e-transfer or Kofi.

*Kofi charges almost $5 fee for every $50 donation - they transfer funds over to PayPal*

Please boost, if you're unable to #donate to my fixed dentures #fundraiser. Thank you for any & all assistance 🙏

I'll be documenting the whole process of getting fixed dentures, afterwards, so folks can see what they helped to fund.

My #DisabledSailing association, #AbleSail Victoria secured a funding grant from #SailCanada & now can offer a CANSAIL 1 course at Royal Victoria Yacht Club. I signed up this morning for training in August.
Once I successfully complete CanSail 1, I can take their Can Sail 2 course. These will help me reach my adaptive sailing dreams of competing in a future Mobility Cup regatta.

Very grateful for all funding grants & donors for helping Able Sail Victoria with monies needed to keep their programs running. Disabled folks like me wouldn't be able to afford participating if the programs weren't highly subsidized.

I'm back from the denturist. He said my gums are getting damaged by the current immediate dentures & obtaining fixed ones would help with that & with eating more foods. The fixed dentures aren't as expensive as immediates were but they are still costly & not covered by my pharmacare. I am a disabled death doula/death care aide, working on independent contracts basis & have no additional health insurance coverage. I was slowly saving up for fixed dentures but had to use the $260 saved for unexpected medical costs for me & Mom's recent downturns in health last month.

These are the costs I was quoted today, for getting full set of fixed dentures made with the related costs that I'm #fundraising for:

X-rays, casting & full fixed dentures set - $1650
4 relines for any adjustments needed after - $680
$331.55 CDN in donated funds received as of 5:40pm on June 2nd.
Total still needed: $1,998.45

When #parents won't #MaskUp - they teach their #children to not be safe with their #health too. They also teach their kids to not care about others in the community. I'm blown away by how many parents are OK with exposing themselves & their kids to several preventable, airborne illnesses, including covid. They're risking death & disabilities on themselves & their kids.

Our #PublicHealth system is already overburdened & understaffed. We have many former health care workers with long covid & they never returned to work. We are nowhere near prepared to deal with many future cases of long covid & the 2ndary illnesses & disabilities that more people will suffer from - because they aren't being #CovidSafe.

Our government & mainstream media has stopped reporting facts on covid & on long covid. They want the public to forget about it. Which means dismissing the lives of disabled people like me & many others, who are still being covid safe.

#Cowichan Valley residents adapt to life without #PublicTransit as strike enters 4th month.
#PeopleWithDisabilities , #students & #seniors struggle with the lack of options for #transportation in the Cowichan Valley.

#UniforLocal114 & #UniforLocal333BC the union representing 44 drivers, mechanics& cleaners, have been on strike since Feb. 8. They are advocating for wages similar to their counterparts in Victoria, better access to washroom facilities & more consistent breaks. #Workers have since voted against a new contract with their employer, #TransDev & the strike reaches 105 days, there is still no end in sight. As a result of the strike, #transit in the Cowichan Valley has been on hold, interfering with where and how people move through the community. #HandyDart services are still available but only for medical appointments related to renal dialysis, cancer treatment & multiple sclerosis.
