Get a glimpse of what it looks like to have deep relationships with members. We invite you to journey with Daniel.
Since we don’t put time-limits on our relationships, our relationships with members like Daniel continue to grow over multiple years, allowing us to support members as they navigate complex and intersecting challenges.
- Daniel is a regular in our Community Room. He often visits after selling Street Roots newspapers outside of Pearl Bakery.
- Daniel also participates in our Education Program. Each term, he regularly opens his home and life to nursing students - giving insight into the complex health issues related to poverty.
- In the fall of 2017, Daniel sought assistance from Support Services when his housing situation was threatened. We supported him as he found new housing, including helping to locate a building that had an elevator so he could finally have his hernia surgery – something that couldn’t be accommodated at his old building.
- And when Daniel had to make some drastic health changes before receiving surgery, we walked with him through the process.
- After surgery, students and staff continued to visit Daniel as he recovered.
Daniel holds the keys to his new home. 
Daniel's new home has an elevator, making surgery possible.
