> Claudette Chabot talks about her volunteer work at Daybreak Housing,  
> new workshop
>
> “I am a volunteer for Daybreak Housing and its residents. Fifteen  
> years ago, when I first offered my help to a similar supportive  
> housing provider, the residents there called me “naïve”. Naïve  
> because my middle class upbringing kept me sheltered from the harsh  
> realities and day-to-day struggles faced by people in need of  
> support. Lucky in naivety!…
>
>
> During those 15 years of volunteering, I have had the pleasure of  
> knowing and watching how many residents of the housing unit, people  
> once in such dire straits, were able to turn their lives forward  
> with the help of some of the programs they were invited to attend.  
> Why? Because they were determined to put to use these new tools and  
> knowledge they had never had the luck of being given before.”
