COVID-19 has been ruthless. Its impact on the most vulnerable people in communities across the GTA is devastatingand it will be for a very long time.

Gabor, who used to sleep on a park bench when he first arrived in Canada, connected with a United Way-funded agency and went on to find a job and stable housing. But then COVID-19 hit and it changed everything. He started getting less work and the relative stability hed found began slipping away.

Thats why Im asking for your help in raising money for United Way. We can play an important role in ensuring United Ways safety nettheir network of 280 community agencies across Peel, Toronto and York Regionis there for those who need it most. For people like Gabor.

Not being able to offer the kind of support and help that allows people to survive and thrivedespite all oddssimply isnt an option. Will you join me today in supporting United Way?
