Hello good people.
My name Tracey and August 3rd I will turn 60.
Let me give you backstory of my pictures.
I PROUDLY was a drywaller in construction building luxury highrises for nearly 4 years with a family business I was extremely dedicated to.
In Canada, where I live, I was only 5% of woman who did the job I did.
I documented my construction journey on YouTube in hopes of getting the attention of other woman to think about this amazing industry I LOVED.
Recently, my employer made a very bold and unexpected discussion to terminate my employment without cause or notice, not only that but got me illegally evicted from my apartment that they have shares into.
I was removed July 27 2025 with 1 week notice from their building and 6 weeks later they took my job away.
I applied for unemployment to help elevate my unexpected end of my finances only to find out,my ex employer committed government fraud using my good name deeming me a subcontractor instead of the hourly paid worker I was.
Due to his fraud, I am now homless, working part time for minimum wage and can not get a place to live with my pets because of an illegal eviction and lack of money.
Six years ago I almost lost my life due to sever health issues which to this day Im still dealing with.
My government will only compensate me $312.00 per month and put me on a 5 year wait list for housing.
Im currently staying in a filthy motel that I CAN NOT afford and very soon to b3 3vicyed from here also
I more recently was hospitalized due to my health issues for 5 days then released into a shelter that is ripe with addiction and diseases.
Im a recovered addict and have been clean and sober for over a decade.
My government will only provide me serious help with disability is I were an addict. Since I chose to go to work instead of bleeding the system they will NOT give me disability for my health issues only offering me $97. Per month for dietary aid.
I understand fully, Im not the worst off. I also understand that I have merit in the judiciary system,however, I cant afford the 3 thousand retainer to take my criminal ex employer to court.
Im alone out here, just me and my 2 cats, that Ive lovingly nurtured for over 10 years and giving them up is not an option.
I have more hunger days then food days despite me working, I only receive roughly $125. Per week.
I have signed up with Employment Specialists to help me gain full time employment but due to the high unemployment rate and new immigrants, and my gender and AGE,Im not a priority.
Im a college grad with honors in business but fell into construction after my sickness in 2020 to rebuild my life.
Im not here for a hand out, I desperately need a hand up.
Im driven, and used to be extremely happy and positive.
Due to the illegal acts that have been forced upon me, it has rendered me a 1 girl army to try and fight not only the system but an ex employer who thought my life was the life that should be ruined.
I have YouTube channel documenting everything if anyone would like conformation of this difficult chapter of my life.
@Peridoteyes on YouTube.
I understand how difficult ALL our lives are in these times, and if you can't contribute would you please share this GoFundMe.
I dont want to die out here and it feels like my government doesn't care if I do.
To all struggling out here, My heart is with you.I wish you healing. ..
Thank you for just reading this.
Writing this down actually makes me feel a bit better.
Im asking for help surviving until the justice system kicks in or a path is paved for me.
Regardless, I will do my due diligence to fix this anyway I can, including a GoFundMe.
Thank You kind souls.
Respectfully
Tracey Thibault
