Where our Federal and Provincial aids hold gaps, we must persist. Where our local aids need time to change, we must loudly be patient. Loudly, so they know our desires and may evolve towards them. Because we do evolve, and in this moment, I'm thinking, we are.

Our world and lives are all in their own variants of chaos. We must come together on the smaller levels to assure each others care. With innovation, transparency & willingness there is a beautiful way through this all.

More updates shortly!
