Okay, I will wind up.
ROAR—Reaching Out Assisting Refugees—is an organization in Nanaimo. They resettle LGBTQI+ refugees from across the globe through private sponsorships. It's the organization I came through, and I started feeling safe the day I landed in Canada. I really felt safe, and I'm so grateful for that.
I'm working and I'm a permanent resident. I'm giving to Canada. I'm a registered nursing assistant. I help seniors in long-term care and also in hospitals. For those who know the Nanaimo Regional General Hospital, it's where I work, and I'm helping the seniors there.
Thank you.
