BFF - Brenda's Financial Fund
Donation protected
Life Changes in An Instant.
My friend Brenda Woolner had a fall doing much hated yard work last week and broke BOTH her ankles! From a busy, independent life to one of total dependence in less time than it took to read that sentence.
Brenda works on contract within the Halifax Library system 9 months of the year helping new Canadians acquire language skills. She supplements her income with teaching yoga and offering retreats. She lives a frugal and simple life, and like many people who work on contract, she has minimal disability/sickness benefits, lives paycheck to paycheck and does not have family she can call on. Her reality right now is one that many of us face; that we are only one or two paychecks away from financial crisis. She anticipates being back on her feet by mid-December.
She has applied for EI, but will only receive 60% of her wages and that's not enough to see her through the next 6-8 weeks of healing.
Friends have set up a schedule to bring her meals and run errands; in addition to that she needs financial resources.
Can you make a donation to help ease the financial stress of this challenging time?
In return, she offers to trade donation dollars for:
1. Gentle yoga classes when she is back on her feet,
2. Participation in retreats she will be offering in the new year,
3. Time at The Blue House in Bear River in 2017; check out www.bluehouseretreat.ca for details about what she offers there!
Thanks for being a BFF and being part of Brenda's caring community!
