I'm fundraising in the Ride for Refuge on October 5 in solidarity with refugee claimants seeking hope and support in my city. As part of the Journey Home team, I am continually floored by the many stories of resilience that we encounter in this line of work. I love the work I get to do - being part of a team that comes alongside refugee claimants through providing access to housing, settlement support, and opportunities for community and connection.

While the refugee crisis seems daunting and impossible, hope is breaking through. And while it may seem impossible to know where to start or how to make a difference, partnering with my team is an amazing way to start!
