Two years ago I became a Canadian citizen – at the tender age of 49, a bit of a late bloomer you might say. Later that same year, I cast my first vote in a federal election, excited to finally take part in the political process which I’d watched from the sidelines for many years.
Greetings Friends of Stella’s Place,
Thanks so much for wanting to help!
Please contact your local MPP, whose information can be found here. This website lists their Constituency and Queen’s Park offices. It would be extremely helpful if you could visit, call or email your MPP and let them know the impact that Stella’s Place is making with young adults.
Stella’s Place is a registered charity and non-profit. That means that we will always have to work on getting funding to accomplish our goals (and help you accomplish yours), provide the services we have, and keep growing and making more of an impact.
For the first time in months, I feel like I am starting to get my life back on track.
It all started when I was 11 years old. It may be hard to think that an 11 year old has problems going on. Most of us would probably say “just wait until you get to high school” or “you don’t have anything to worry about, you’re just a kid”. Well, that isn’t how we should react, because you don’t know what they may be struggling with.
For the past two weeks, Pokemon GO has been taking over news channels, Facebook feeds, and twitter timelines all over the world. It’s a simple concept, allowing users to become trainers and live their dreams of being the best there ever was, by walking around their communities to catch the best and coolest Pokemon. As I am writing this, I am sitting at a dock with 300 other strangers trying to catch rare Pokemon that spawn here.
