In March, Asia, one of our NOLA participants, moved from a room in shared accommodation to her own basement suite. Congratulations, Asia!
Asia said it feels like a new beginning for her. She is excited to get to know her new neighbourhood and wants to adopt a small dog to keep her company. Once she settles in, she plans to find a part-time job to supplement her disability income and possibly do some volunteer work as well.
On behalf of Asia and her NOLA Case Manager, Allyson Johnson, we want to say thank you to the Lookout Society for identifying a suitable place; to Steve and Giuseppe for the heavy lifting; and to Elaine at Hidden Treasures for lending out Puff, the store’s truck. Plus a special thank you to Asia’s NOLA volunteers. We can’t do what we do without you!
