If billionaires can build rockets for 11-minute joyrides, they can afford to fund universal mental healthcare.

We don’t have a budget problem. We have a priority problem.

The cause of homelessness is not simply, not having a home. It’s unaddressed trauma, untreated mental health struggles, and systemic barriers that keep people trapped. To truly end homelessness, we must go beyond shelter, we must heal, support, and empower people at the root of their struggles.

When everything falls apart, first responders risk their lives and protect ours.

Their role isn’t just vital; let’s never take that for granted. 🚒🚓

We can’t wait on the government to solve homelessness.
It starts with us—with empathy, action, and refusing to look away.

We rise by lifting others. 🏠💛

Differences shouldn't be feared—they should be embraced. 🌈
Your unique journey, perspective, and voice matter more than you know.

You’re not “too much” or “not enough”—you’re exactly who you need to be. Keep showing up. 💙

🧠💙 Mental health & support workers are the unsung heroes of our communities. They carry others' pain with strength & grace—often without thanks.
Today, I just want to say:
We see you. We need you. We thank you.

Real solutions to homelessness start with those experiencing it.
Too often, decisions are made about the homeless without including their voices. If we want change that sticks, we need to listen, involve, and empower those with lived experience. #Homelessness #BottomUp

🏠✨ Housing First + Mental Health Support = Lasting Change

Veterans deserve more than a roof—they need comprehensive support. Housing First, paired with mental health care, breaks the cycle of homelessness.

Through my outreach, I've worked with an individual who had a RED triage category, and yes, red is bad. My team and I stabilized this individual with wrap-around (mental health) supports, and they are now Green helping other Veterans in the community. It's an incredible feeling!!!

Being adopted shaped my journey, and I wanted to give back. I donated my time to be part of Adopted, a film that explores the struggles of adoption for adults and children. If you've faced similar challenges, this movie may resonate with you! www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VCY... #Adoption #AdoptedMovie"

🌊 In 2023, Halifax faced a bitter winter. The city opened a rink shelter, gathered volunteers, and leased vehicles—yet no one arrived. Why? Encampments offered freedom and community, free from rigid rules. Without real consultation, the plan froze and ultimately failed. Consult them first!! 🌊

It's important to give back to society in some way. But, I also believe that that way should be meaningful and reflect lived experience. My nephew has a learning disability, so I grew up being aware of his needs. As an adult, I volunteer on the BOD of SSG, SSG houses, and supports people like him.

🙏 Repost to thank mental health heroes! 🙏

For 21 years, I’ve seen the toll of homelessness. Leading a veterans homelessness project has been harder than anything I faced in the military. Some won’t make it—but mental health professionals fight for them every day. Their strength brings hope. #Heros

My first bed after I was adopted was a cardboard box. It wasn’t much, but it was mine. Where you start in life doesn’t define where you finish—hard work, resilience, and the right opportunities do.
If a kid with a cardboard box can build a future, imagine what you can do. Keep going. #Adopted

🦅🦅🦅 Three eagles, each atop their own pile of garbage, powerful alone but stronger together. Hoarding scraps won’t build a better world. Ending homelessness takes unity, not isolated victories. Let’s rise together. 🌊🌊🌊

I was wondering if anyone would be interested in reviewing my new book coming out Bottomup Breakthrough

The book is dedicated to my friend who passed for mental health. If anyone is interested, just drop me a line. It would be greatly appreciated. I will send a free ebook to anyone interested

After working with Veterans experiencing housing insecurity over the last few months, it's astonishing the variety of needs that are required to stabilize an individual.

In terms of Homelessness, unfortunately I don't see a one size fits all solution...I wish it was
