Hi friends, *TW: Child suicide attempt mentioned*

On Sunday my child tried to commit, we found out and rushed them to the hospital. Since then, they have been moved to CAPSU. We are having a VERY different experience this time with CAPSU which is great but it's becoming overwhelmingly busy with multiple trips to Surrey from Chilliwack. I don't drive currently, and we are a super low income family.

While this has been overall a better experience (our first experience was in 2022, and it was horrible) it has been financially exhausting us, with transit, Uber, and finding rides, and sustaining the kids that are still at home.

I was already barely making it by feeding my kids before, now I'm having to feed kids at home, and myself while I'm on the move constantly right now, we've exhausted all friends and family for funding and everyone is tapped out. I had to leave my job due to this emergency, and I dont qualify for income assistance at all. I pay for everything solely from child tax and child support right now.

I'm super hesitant this is going to work because last time we didnt receive this kind of support so I'm really worried. This is my second kid who has attempted suicide in the last 3 years. I spent 2 years keeping my oldest child from committing over 15 times. I'm just exhausted and scared at this point. I know the statistics for suicide rates among indigenous people especially our youth are extremely high right now.
