Niña's Birthday Fundraiser for DEWC

2024 Update: Reactivating last year's fundraiser for non-'Canadian' friends who wish to donate this year. Apparently the dono button on IG is not displaying for everyone. Thank you for the love ❤️

For my birthday this year, I'm asking for donations to The Downtown Eastside Women's Centre (DEWC). If you have some dollars to spare and would like to spread some love to celebrate - just $5 can help make a difference in the life of a woman and her children. I've chosen this organization because of their meaningful mission and every little bit will help reach the goal!

The DEWC is one of the few safe spaces within the Downtown Eastside (DTES) exclusively for self-identified women and their children. High levels of violence, homelessness, addictions and poverty characterize the DTES community. Women and children are particularly vulnerable to exploitation, injustice and injury. By connecting women to a continuum of care, DEWC builds capacity for empowerment and long-term positive change.
