The community has been reaching out in support of Bree’s family and wanting to donate to the cause. First off, we are SO THANKFUL for EVERYONE standing up for justice and saying her name! We’re not stopping until we truly get justice! All of you are such a blessing! It’s amazing! Second of all, we are thankful for the offers for donations. My sister and niece are too proud to say it, but this is a tough fight and it does take a toll. They’re both hard workers and they’re missing out on some work (and sleep!) in this fight for justice. We do not expect anyone to donate to this cause; your voices are being heard and that alone is so powerful! But because of all the calls and the overwhelming generosity, I have set up this account for them. You all are a blessing. Thank you so much again for everything! And let’s keep this fight for justice going! #justiceforbre

Justice for Breonna Taylor (official)(#BREEWAYY)

*Texto en español mas abajo  UPDATE #2: We could never in our wildest dreams could we have anticipated this level of support! We have decided to raise the goal to $4500 recognizing the reality of their losses and financial support they are going to need going forward.  UPDATE: The first contact from the landlords is to demand they clear and vacate the premises NOW because there is a renovation crew on-site to start working on repairs, but they will not provide any aid or even a mobile dumpster to facilitate the clear. All correspondences are being documented for future use as we determine what next steps to take. We are HUMBLED by your support!!  On Sunday night May 31st, 2020 (coincidentally my brother-in-law Nathan's birthday) an electrical fire started only feet away from my niece Annika's bedroom. The fire started in the building's electrical panel— located at the rear part of the building— and quickly burned through several walls and apartments including my sister's.  Immediately, my sister Pam evacuated everyone from the building and called 911. Fire trucks were sent to the scene where a total of 14 residents were immediately left without homes.  News Coverage: <a href="https://ottawacitizen.com/news/local-news/ten-people-displaced-by-fire-at-vars-apartment-building" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ottawa Citizen article about the fire</a>  After several hours with no updates and no information about whether they could access the premises to begin salvaging what they could, they finally were allowed in to discover that they had lost all the contents of one bedroom, a significant amount of clothing, as well as furniture. The fire and smoke was not the only source of property damage they incurred, since—understandably— the water used to quell the fire and secure the building structure also caused a significant amount of water damage. There is rubble strewn all over the apartment including drywall and insulation from the exterior walls and walls between apartments that had to be struck down to extinguish the fire. The apartments are unliveable, and will remain unliveable for the foreseeable future. Although they were still able to salvage the contents of one bedroom, the kitchen, and part of the living room —despite significant smoke and water damage—much was lost.  Beyond the material things, a home was destroyed— a home where everyone was welcome, comfortable, and safe.  What broke my heart was walking into their place today and realizing that they had to return paint cans and other materials that they had intended to put towards exciting plans to renovate, re-paint and declutter Annika's bedroom during Pam's much-needed vacation time off. Pam is a frontline worker during COVID-19, working long hours as a team lead at Whole Foods. She is the only one in the household that was able to retain employment during COVID-19, and for that, I am extremely proud and have enormous respect for my sister. As of June 3rd, no information has been given from the landlord in terms of direction on insurance claims, compensation, or relocation going forward.  Everyone is left in the dark. When I arrived today to help, I expected the landlord to be taking the lead and showing compassion to their tenants. They were nowhere to be found. Instead, they had sent over their family members to mow the lawn and start painting the fences around the property instead of prioritizing the needs of their tenants who had just lost their homes.  The lack of compassion I witnessed today was demoralizing, keeping everyone's spirits low, and worsened an already tragic situation.  There has been no water, electricity, food, or supplies provided to the tenants. Obviously, the tenants were left without power but shockingly, the landlord's landscaping team brought their own generator for running their equipment (major eye roll).  This is a very dark time for the world and many communities are facing immeasurable pain and suffering. Like many of us, Pam, Nate, and Annika's financial situation are especially strained due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. No one deserves to lose their home, their sense of stability, and their safe place, especially during these tough times. We sincerely appreciate any support you are able to provide. _______________________________________________________________________________________ ACTUALIZACIÓN: El primer contacto de los propietarios es exigir que limpien y desalojen las instalaciones AHORA porque hay un equipo de renovación en el sitio para comenzar a trabajar en las reparaciones, pero no proporcionarán ayuda o incluso un contenedor de basura móvil para facilitar la limpieza. Todas las correspondencias se están documentando para el futuro a medida que determinamos los próximos pasos a seguir. ¡Estamos HUMILLADOS por su apoyo! ACTUALIZACIÓN # 2: ¡Nunca podríamos en nuestros sueños más locos haber anticipado este nivel de apoyo! Hemos decidido elevar la meta a $ 4500, reconociendo la realidad de sus pérdidas y el apoyo financiero que necesitarán en el futuro. 


El domingo por la noche el 31 de mayo de 2020 (casualmente el cumpleaños de mi cuñado Nathan) comenzó un incendio eléctrico a solo unos metros de la habitación de mi sobrina Annika. El incendio comenzó en el panel eléctrico del edificio, ubicado en la parte trasera del edificio, y rápidamente se quemó a través de varias paredes y apartamentos, incluido el de mi hermana. Inmediatamente, mi hermana Pam evacuó a todos del edificio y llamó al 911. Se enviaron camiones de bomberos al lugar donde un total de 14 residentes quedaron inmediatamente sin hogar. Después de varias horas sin actualizaciones y sin información sobre si podían acceder a las instalaciones para comenzar a recuperar lo que podían, finalmente se les permitió descubrir que habían perdido todo el contenido de una habitación, una cantidad significativa de ropa, así como muebles. El fuego y el humo no fueron la única fuente de daños a la propiedad en los que incurrieron, ya que, comprensiblemente, el agua utilizada para sofocar el fuego y asegurar la estructura del edificio también causó una cantidad significativa de daños. Hay escombros esparcidos por todo el apartamento, incluyendo paneles de yeso y aislamiento de las paredes exteriores e interiores entre los apartamentos que tuvieron que ser derribados para extinguir el incendio. Los apartamentos no se pueden vivir y se mantendrán invivibles en el futuro previsible. Aunque todavía pudieron rescatar el contenido de una habitación, la cocina y parte de la sala de estar, a pesar del daño significativo causado por el humo y el agua, se perdió mucho. Más allá de las cosas materiales, se destruyó una hogar, una hogar donde todos eran bienvenidos, cómodos y seguros. Lo que me rompió el corazón fue entrar a su casa hoy y darme cuenta de que tenían que devolver las latas de pintura y otros materiales que tenían la intención de poner en planes emocionantes para renovar, volver a pintar y organizar la habitación de Annika durante el muy necesario tiempo libre de vacaciones de Pamela. Pam es trabajadora de primera línea durante COVID-19, trabajando largas horas como líder de equipo en Whole Foods. Ella es la única en el hogar que pudo retener un empleo durante COVID-19, y por eso, estoy extremadamente orgullosa y tengo un enorme respeto por mi hermana. Hasta el 3 de junio, no se ha proporcionado información del dueño de la propiedad en términos de dirección sobre reclamos de seguro, compensación o reubicación en el futuro. Todos se han quedado en la oscuridad. Cuando llegué hoy para ayudar, esperaba que el propietario tomara la iniciativa y mostrara compasión a sus inquilinos. Los dueños no podían ser encontrados por ningún lado. En cambio, habían enviado a sus familiares para cortar el césped y comenzar a pintar las cercas alrededor de la propiedad (algo que provoco mucho enojo e inquietud) en lugar de priorizar las necesidades de sus inquilinos que acababan de perder sus hogares. La falta de compasión que presencié hoy fue desmoralizante, mantuvo el ánimo de todos bajo y empeoró una situación ya trágica. No ha habido agua, electricidad, comida o suministros proporcionados a los inquilinos. Obviamente, los inquilinos se quedaron sin electricidad, pero sorprendentemente, el equipo de jardinería que fue enviado por los dueños de la propiedad trajo su propio generador para operar su equipo (esto hizo que mi mandibula cayera al piso, simplemente increible la falta de compasion). Este es un momento muy oscuro para el mundo y muchas comunidades enfrentan un dolor y sufrimiento inconmensurables. Como muchos de nosotros, la situación financiera de Pam, Nate y Annika está especialmente tensa debido a las circunstancias que rodean a COVID-19. Nadie merece perder su hogar, su sentido de estabilidad y su lugar seguro, especialmente durante estos tiempos difíciles. Agradecemos sinceramente cualquier apoyo que pueda brindar.

Help support Pam, Nate and Annika after house fire

D'ANGELO, Marie Therese (Terry) (nee Richer) After a courageous battle with cancer, on Wednesday, July 11, 2018, at the Elisabeth Bruyere Hospital at the age of 56. She will be dearly missed by her husband of 20 years, Ivano, her beloved sons Anthony and Jack. Terry was a dear sister to Anne (David O'Grady). She was predeceased by her parents, Lana and John Richer. Dear sister-in-law to Joe D'Angelo (Tami) and aunt to Jared, daughter-in-law to Margherita and the late Antonio. Terry will be lovingly remembered by her many aunts, uncles, and cousins both in Canada and Italy, and her colleagues at the Federation For The Humanities and Social Sciences; Invest Ottawa; and The Westin Hotel, Ottawa. A Celebration of her life will be held at The Westin, Ottawa, on Wednesday, July 25 from 2:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. with sharing of memories beginning at 3:00 p.m. For those who wish, contributions in her memory may be directed to a trust dedicated to her sons - information to follow. Her family wish to extend a sincere thanks to the doctors, nurses and staff at the Ottawa General and Elisabeth Bruyere hospitals for the compassionate and professional care. Condolences and sharing memories at www.capitalmemorial.ca Our hearts are broken as we mourn the passing of our beloved Terry. She passed away peacefully July 11, 2018 . We would like to thank everyone for all of your support during this very difficult journey. Update - December 28, 2017. Finally received biopsy results. It is a brain tumour and it is cancer . Not the worse kind mind you . It is not curable but somewhat treatable with radiation and chemo . Radiation is key and intense and will be everyday at the general campus , 5 days a week for 6 weeks... ouff . Chemo will be fine and done orally at home and will support/ enhance radiation . Boys are aware . This is our bubble and journey we are in . Making calls everyday with insurance and red tape is never ending . Just don’t understand that we have to continually call, ask and follow up with services that we qualify for. Why can’t they just make them happen . Letters, forms then hurry up and wait etc ... if you everyone in these services would talk and just come through and do what they say they would do, that would minimize the calls and follow up . We are drained overwhelmed with everything that needs to be done but we love each other and we are hopeful, optimistic and determined. We’re working hard at home for no drama, normalcy and sense of humour . Yes it’s a struggle for all of us just taking care of me cause I can’t do it for myself . So we make fun of my gimpyness and laugh. This is what we’ve been given and it’s ok ... could be worse . But we are not worse. Thank you to those that have reached out and supported us in so many ways . We love you - you have no idea . By your sharing our story we’ve had complete strangers support us . That’s incredible. The story A few months ago, at the age  of  55, I was diagnosed with a brain tumour. Because of its location, surgery is not an option , so chemo, radiation are the current plan. I am married to my love Ivano for 20 years  and we have two teenage boys, Anthony, 18 and Jack, 15.  We live in Barrhaven, a suburb of Ottawa and really need help. Ivano has been employed with the Westin hotel in Ottawa for the last 28 years and I am the Director of Congress with the Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences planning Canada’s largest academic conference at a different Canadian university each year. In 2017 we had over 10,000 attendees. Mobility has quickly decreased in last few weeks and I need constant help to bathe, dress and getting to the washroom. I can no longer continue to get up stairs to my bed and shower. So I’m now staying upstairs and living in the master bedroom.   I have no function on the left side of my body ... similar to a  stroke .  With no home care or help on the horizon this is incredibly stressful for my husband as he is being all things for me and the family with no day to day relief. My constant care and worry are quickly becoming overwhelming for my family. It is now apparent that we need a proper stair lift .  Because our stairs are  curved the  cost is at least $10,000 to $15,000.  My treatments and other appointments are starting this week and I have no way to get to them as I can no longer navigate the stairs.   There are patient transfer services but at $350 a day that is not not covered by insurance to get me to and from each appointment  several times a week is not a sustainable option . I need to get measured for a custom foot brace to help with my mobility but I can’t get there to be measured. Setting up a bed on the main level is also not an option as  I cannot access a washroom  or shower. We may also need to modify our bathroom so I can I walk In or roll in . We have a bench at the moment but we expect it to become more challenging once treatments start. My husband simply cannot keep lifting me out. Too dangerous and stressful for all. Funds are needed for these items to be installed and hire some basic home help as soon as possible so our quality of life and focus on treatments become the main objective and not a burden because we are overwhelmed. We have to get to these appointments. Savings are being used to cover loss wages. As an event planner making arrangements is what I do. However trying to make calls, look for grants and subsidies is a full time job and is difficult for me to sustain day in and out in making calls, research or applications. It’s just not good for my recovery and healing . Love and prayers to all who are reading this. Please share far and wide to whatever groups, churches, services, businesses, organizations, charities, colleagues or others that you feel may be able to help.

Which brings us back to that dough. We are asking for $2,000 in order to cover the costs of mixing, mastering and printing of this record, as those are absolutely necessary to achieve our album release on September 19th. Beyond that amount, we would appreciate any and all donations that we will be able to put towards merchandising, touring and printing vinyl copies of our album. Who are we? Formerly known as Miss Polygamy, Ottawa-based     <a href="http://lttrmusic.com" target="_blank">Lost to the River</a>  consists of five friends and musicians who have united to create what we think is something very special. While we had a great run with Miss Polygamy, we feel that our time has come to grow and evolve with our music. Thus, with a new name we can better reflect our music and musical identity to you, the most important people in our lives -- that is, aside from our instruments ‘cause, yes, they’re just that important to us. The making of LTTR’s first album For the past 5 months, we have been hard at work in an effort to bring you our very best yet. Countless mornings, days and nights were spent going through the arduous creative process that is required to produce an album. From developing melodies, to writing lyrics; from finding the right chords and keys to perfecting our harmonies; this has been one of the most life-changing experiences we have ever had. Thank you!!!! Much love, Sean,  Arturo,  Nick,  Brandon &amp; Shamus P.S. Have we mentioned how much we love Gallery Recording Studio?
