Q: What is this about?

A: A pilot project to give both Fort Nelson and Fort Saint John local control to help the one we care for who is suffering-directly causing us to suffer wanting her to be ok, so we can be ok.

Q: What is requested of me?

A: To choose to support this cause by one of the 8 or more ways you can.

1. Pray a specific prayer for her-strength in numbers.

2. Be a donor-publicly showing your name.

Debit and Credit card accepted with little of your time wasted. Make an effort to know you did.

3.Donate Again! regardless if public or anonymous

The cost of the two coffees I sacrifice in one day that I normally purchase, WILL add up to great goodness here by donating here instead.

4. Leave Encouraging, Credit building comments to let others know its ok and safe for them to dive into this.


5. Become a team member, I have a very clear vision and plan in place and will delegate the load as members join the cause.

-Team members are being recruited and showing up as we read this…publicly and privately.

6. Show up, be a friend…

Buy and/or share food and flowers with words to let Sonya and those close to her know they are seen, loved and forgiven-for them to know in their heart of hearts that they are accepted. Flood them with love in any way uou can demonstrate. Empower Sonya by directly bringing food for her to give to her friends that she knows are in need…..she is respected by many in her impoverished world.

She is located directly above the coincidentally named businesses “The Man Cave” Barber Shop and “To Dye For ” Hair Salon on second floor of the NICMAC building.

Decorate that upper white floor railing with flowers in a demonstration of support and solidarity.

The owners of the building and I have been working closely together to see Sonya through for a year now….and they can fully recount the troubles constantly plaguing her residence from regular Ambulance to Police visits. Wendy and Jim Young have provided her a safe place at a very reasonable cost until we can get her help. They have been one of many of Sonya’s silent supportors in this and I am truly grateful they have let me lead in this.-With permission to now have this support become public.

7. Share to the world….Any and every way you can advertise this.

For Example-on facebook-you can select Share with-“friends”,and below that select “see more” and there will appear “specific friends”and click in there.

To capture all the friends on fb you have….scroll to the bottom of the list first….then rapidly individually select them all until you reach the top.

Save

Post.

8.Converse about this cause. Be the difference by making time to be the difference.

Convince one other person to support you in supporting this.


Q:Why her?- Why not my son, my daughter, my friend, my lover, relative or a coworker?

A: Why not?

She is the epicentre of and has an effect on many,many people… helping her,helps many….maybe even the one you love indirectly.

Q:Who chooses?

She did.

To be the first to lead by example and pave the way for the next.

Her success provides hope to many others…ive seen it with own eyes.

Q: Im affraid to show her my support…. Because I dont want to be perceived as biased or anger anyone by helping her and not others I care for.

A:This fear is what got us all here…

It is time to identify our fear and give it to something else-to take care of so we dont have to.

“if we hold onto the hot potatoe, itll burn us”

Let the love flow in you and out to others and with this recipe….let the courage you find gain your confidence knowing its a good thing.

Q: I’m affraid of publicly exposing my name in support of her.

A: This fear…from people like us…is what kept her and others where they are and until this fund raising engine starts and runs on its own….we need to really muster the courage to be “that person” who leads for the ones behind us to do the same.

Contribute to the growing cause.

Hi,

My Name is Dustin Cobbett.

And it’s our time to make the difference.

I am 34 and have chosen to dedicate to conclusion, a lifeline for this woman with the little resources Ive had. I really care for this woman and every single person in our family and Ive exhausted all avenues I can muster to get her momentum to a better wellbeing. She wants help! She is asking for help and she is ready to do what ever it takes to
receive help. Please help us help her.

I have been attempting to help her with what I can and I need support to move her forward as many of us in the family are unable to assist her to get her where she needs to be as we are limited with resources. We want to help her.

This woman is Sonya Morgan.

Sonya needs our help- With all dignity preserved. It’s time for us to stop watching her punish herselff. It’s time to stop sitting on the side watching her fight this fight alone. Its time to step in, step up and get beside eachother and band together. And we need more people than what we have to get this vehicle unstuck and back on the road to success.

It takes a community to raise a healthy individual, and it takes healthy individuals to be a healthy community.

The Goal:

It is my firm belief Sonya is ready to begin a new life. Free of harmful substances, trauma, negative coping measures and the pain and suffering that ensues and I will do everything within my power to get her the help she needs.

The Incentive:

Sonya’s wellbeing has directly effected a plethora of people in her life. She is greatly loved, missed, and the good memories with her are cherished, sealed in boxes of pictures when our family represented joy, love, peace, fun, comfort,rest-Hope. There is an incredible amount of pain even today currently being endured by her and our loved ones from times passed.

I see a diamond in the rough. I am convinced, by demonstrating to Sonya how to improve her well being, to where she can sustain a rate of steady growth on her own….by her being the best version of herself-She will do 3 things for a greater good beyond her own wellbeing:

#1. Assist in healing and bringing closeness back to the people she adores the most and that love her the deepest.

#2. Pave a path forward out of the trap shes in which many others around her are snared in.

#3-Demonstrate that at any age, anything is possible-learning how to learn again.

Sonya is hands down, without a doubt the most resilient, toughest woman I have ever met. By defintion….”Tough” is “able to endure hardship and pain”

She has had many disturbing experiences throughout her life, raised 5 children , coped by any means she could and can with emotional and physical pain, suffered from failed or strained relationships and ultimately self sabotaged much of the good when she has or had it.

With all this said….. What is hurting her the most today and fuelling the numbing effect of her barely surviving this life and not thriving… Is the loss of intimacy and closeness with her loved ones.

Sound familiar?
Does it Look familiar to the ones you love?
Feel familiar?

A closeness by human nature, we primally need to thrive.

The Vision:

To create a surplus of funds to assist people who have what it takes to become genuine connectable leaders in helping others rise above their grief, self sabotaging and punishing ways.

If Sonya were a piece of coal…. I see a brilliant diamond. I see a powerful woman with immense empathy for others and her in-depth understanding of the effects on our minds, bodies, quality of life, relationships and distortion of character that the negativity of our world produces and is one who can bring light to all those she is acquainted with when she herself is illuminated. I see a leader by example. And I see Sonya as a local equivalent of “Joyce Meyer”

Look her up, one of most influential people we have today… learning from
the school of hardknocks.

Sonya Loves Children, She Loves Animals, She sees the unseen, She helps those who have little, when she has less. And she connects with many who suffer alone.

She is a powerhouse of Good….waiting to be ignited.

The Struggle:

My earliest memory of Sonya was when I was about 4….and for the last 10 years or more….Sonya has not been apart of my life.

One day, in a snowstorm when I was walking towards the post office….as I was looking down collecting my thoughts I noticed the sidewalk narrowed from two lanes-to one.

As I looked up-There was Sonya.

Because of the narrow lane-I could not pass her. Nor could she pass me without either of us acknowledging each other.

There I seen a weathered, worn and exhausted human. She asked me how I was and the world went silent.

That moment,I knew we were meant to connect. She could not walk from a broken foot, it was -30C and she was stuck having no mobility.

Upon further discussion-She requested I be her friend-Someone to help her give different perspectives.

Fast forward- I spent roughly 6 months of taking her phone calls, sitting with her in person, helping her align priorities, giving her tools to cope, introducing her to different churches and people etc. We were sitting together one day and she exclaimed….. “Dust, If I just had someone to say “let’s go to a place where I can get better, I would go right now!”

My response- “Welp, Let’s go.”

The frustration:

Sonya and I packed that night.
Said goodbye to all her acquaintances she could think of in the moment.
Called 11 Places to get better,until we were finally accepted-A place that did all 3 elements to wellbeing improvement:

Safety with warmth, nourishment and rest
Education
Therapy

We drove 5 hours that nignt as arranged….

She mustered the will to make better choices.

Went In

And we were turned away-we were told that whoever we talked to-did not know what they were talking about.

My gut sank- The iron was hot and we missed it.

Fast forward More:

From there I made many calls- Contacting roughly 25 Places to improve ourselves, aligned meetings with health officials and have had references for Sonya to go to these places with no avail. We tried for months hitting every wall that I think could have been placed in front of us.

Yes… A person may meet funding criteria and be eligible for different government funding.

BUT

These monetary beams of light do not speed up the availability of programs that can be alloted to individuals needing the space and companionship necessary. Anyone who wants to contest and say its easy to get someone into in a better place and out the door promptly with the necessary tools to feel good and think good… enlighten us and we will gladly take a route that provides swift movement for Sonya to get there.

In the meantime, Sonya was challenged with some events she felt responsible to manage that drew on her and ultimately has spent the last several months poorly coping to numb the defeat.

Little Gains:
Sonya has reconnected with some of her loved ones, has fearfully and with desire began exploring faith. Has implemented Journalling to help clear her thoughts and has determined she is ready to begin a new life with a clear head-Free of pain

The Plan:
Ive found a few private practice places for Sonya to improve her wellbeing that focus on the individual as a whole, dealing with each triggering memory, teaching new skills, providing detoxification and nourishment to strengthen the body, mind and spirit.

And it comes at a cost- Up to $80,000 dollars for long term treatment.

  • I will coordinate with Sonya and the appropriate place that is the best fit for her success, determine the approximate monetary numbers to get her out the door, transport costs to the center and with your help pay the fees to begin her journey into a better life here on earth and continue to raise funds to elongate her stay. I will be solely responsible for all funds accrued for this campaign and will provide the exact paper trail where the money is utilized.

Shortly I will provide these numbers as I learn them.

There is a consensus that Sonya’s greatest success will come with being in a therapeutic place up to a year,instead of a few short months.

The request:

1. To help us get Sonya to this place. 100% of the proceeds will go towards a legitimate program with receipts and only healthy nourishing things when she emerges to help her help herself become more independent.

Once achieved, we will begin assisting the next candidate with the surplus in funding.

And/Or

2. To go out of your way to connect with Sonya, Demonstrate to her your acceptance, love, kindness, encouragement and words of hope.

Lastly: It is my will, that even if Sonya does not receive an adequate amount of funding from this campaign, I will be striving to fund her to complete success myself- I will be making a mininum $2000 contribution to this cause in hopes that if I i have to pay for all of her treatment upfront I can share the financial load with others as the campaign grows. I ask for help….to help her get on track while her body and mind is still serving her.

Grace is defined as:

-being ok with someone, even though they may not deserve it
-Being ok with ourselves, even though we may not deserve it
-being ok with our situation even though we may not deserve it

Forgiveness-Is defined as “no longer feeling the need to punish”

We either punish ourselves, or punish others

And the need to punish-stems from being in pain.

Let’s get rid of the pain together….side by side-Not infront of eachother.

We are on the same side, we want similar outcomes.

Thank you with kind regards
