In this second podcast episode, Kevin and Mark discuss the successful

fundraising gala held on May 2nd, various challenges and successes as he

fights to get Income Support for some vulnerable people, and we discuss

items, and e-transfers.

We delve into inefficiencies within Child Welfare and emergency social

services, highlighting stories of individuals struggling within broken
