FOUNDER MESSAGE
"Growing up in a low-income urban community of Calgary (surrunding area of Forest Lawn), which has a significant Indigenous population, I have observed the daily challenges faced by Indigenous youth. These challenges include underfunded services, food insecurity, family displacement, and the disproportionate representation of Indigenous youth within the criminal justice and child welfare systems. I understand that these issues are deeply rooted in systemic factors and are exacerbated by inadequate support and funding. Through dedicated community engagement, advocacy, and support, I believe we can work toward creating meaningful impact and positive change in the lives of Indigenous children by ensuring access to necessary resources, support, and a strong sense of community."
