Tonight, Veronica will be sharing her personal experience with depression and her journey in discovering herself and finding her happiness.
Veronica is someone that just makes you smile and feel happy when you are around her. She is a positive force in the world and she does her best to help those around her.
Currently, Veronica works at Watari Counselling & Support Services Society. She helps seniors with and without relatives, people on disability benefits, people struggling with addiction and mental health, people living in shelters and SRO (single room occupancy housing), and the homeless.
Veronica has talked about simple experiences that she would like to give to the people that she helps. Everyone needs a break from their situation from time to time. Most importantly, everyone needs a few happy moments in their lives to give them hope for better days.
With this in mind, I’ve started a GoFundMe to help Veronica bring one of her projects to fruition! Please check out the page for more details and share so that we can help Veronica bring more smiles into the world!
