About This Cause
We offer practical support to the women and children victimized by anyway-, including food, bedding, household items and warm clothes, to individuals and families in crisis. We also offer advice, mediation and information to those in longer-term difficulty. Women are in real need in Montreal; every week people are going hungry because they haven’t enough money to make ends meet. They face impossible choices between eating and heating, feeding their children or paying the rent. Our help is short-term and limited. We provide a breathing space for people in need and aim to stop a crisis turning into a tragedy. They may be facing job loss, debt and eviction, homelessness, or fleeing violence or relationship breakdown, or are struggling with mental or physical health issues, or have drug or alcohol problems, or are younger people estranged from family or asylum seekers or ex-offenders or street workers, or have other problems. We work with people on very low incomes who rely on the benefit system or have no income at all. Our support helps to relieve stress, hunger and financial hardship and prevent criminal and socially damaging activities.
