Dear (Donor,)
Two weeks.
I had just escaped a very toxic environment, but I had no
place to go. I could stay with relatives for two weeks, then it was out on the
street for me.
At the time, I was just starting a new job, but I didn’t
have a permanent address to give to my employers. I had no money for the
deposit on an apartment and nowhere else to go. It was my rock bottom.
Desperately, I turned to community supports to see if they
knew of anyone who could help me. As luck would have it, 211 provided me with
Affirmative Ventures phone number, who later offered me a home on Westwood
Drive in Dartmouth. After a seven-month residency there, I was offered an
affordable apartment in the association’s Affirmative House, where I now live.
Having a place to live has given me the gift of stability,
and the reassuring feeling of having a home to go to. I’m able to plan and save
now, and I am building my own place in the community independently.
Affirmative Ventures is embarking on a major campaign to
raise awareness and money to assist with our newest project, “Main Street
Centre.” The centre will be a community hub for social enterprise and an
affordable residence for consumer survivors and seniors. As a member of our community, we are hoping
that you will dig deep into your pockets and donate today. Our goal is to reach
one million dollars, and we wanted to give you the opportunity to help us build
new homes and, in turn, rebuild lives.
Make your donation today! Donations are being accepted via
the association website at www.AffirmativeVentures.ca.
For more information about this and many other initiatives the association is
embarking on, please contact ___________ at xxx-xxx-xxxx.
