Jewish Family Services of Vancouver Island

Please contact [email protected] if you know a way to help: A woman in our community needs temporary or more permanent housing by November 30th! She has a dog- and the two should be kept together if at all possible. She is on disability income support and uses a walker and can afford to pay room and board if the cost is reasonable. She may have to go to an emergency shelter( not ideal for her -she has a lot of anxieties) and in that case could not bring her dog. ... Is there anyone that can rent her a room until more permanent housing can be found? If necessary we would also like to find someone that can shelter the dog for a few weeks if it becomes too difficult to find a place for both of them.

Chanukah gifts and food collected so far. They will be distributed by Jewish Family Services of Vancouver Island to individuals, seniors and families in crisis during the last week of November.
