Any help/support is good so fingers crossed you get on the list.



I did get through after 21 minutes of hitting redial. I am tentatively down for a group starting in July (the earlier ones are already full) but I still need to have the phone intake next week.

One step closer. Just have to get past the intake assessment next week.

And of course assuming we can spend the next 36 weeks or so in Vancouver, up in the air at the moment since we lost my income for the time being and unsure if we can stay here, still up in the air everything is.

Phone intake went well. Next week an in person intake and hopefully approval.

Only if I don't have to drive...lol

I cannot handle driving in Vancouver, too much traffic, too many pedestrians, bikes and its a highly stressful environment and stress is my #1 trigger so I need to keep stress levels down. I no longer drive in Vancouver, I either ride my scooter or take transit.

Taxi driving would also end up being longer hours for not much if anymore pay then my current job that I am on leave from. I have pretty much reached the top pay I can likely ever obtain with current skill level, but its not enough to survive in Vancouver.

Our issue is while I am not working for the next month or 2, just have disability which rent will pretty much take all of it.
