Alex’s Story
August 3, 2022
When COVID-19 hit, Alex struggled to stay connected with his community. Thanks in part the supports that Alex and his family receive, they have found resilience in these challenging times and new ways to spread positivity to their neighbours.
United Way worked rapidly with our partners to identify the needs of the most vulnerable and rallied the community to provide supports such as technology for individuals living with disabilities to safely access supports. Because supporters do local good, individuals like Alex have they help they need.
Donate to do local good.
