Safe Water Moncton Expenses
Hi everyone, my name is Denise Ouellette. I'm a social worker, mother of 3, & treasurer for "Citizens for Safe Water Metro Moncton Eau saine"
This GoFundMe campaign is to raise money to help compensate our coordinator who spent all his savings working this past year (7 months: over full time hours + 5 months: part time hours) for our Safe Water campaign that finally resulted in Council wisely applying the precautionary principle & not fluoridating our public water.
