Depression - Addiction - homelessness - Heartbreak. A Paramedic that feels it is an honour to serve the citizens who are struggling on Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside.
Even though he battles depression himself, he loves what he does and feels like he is contributing to society by helping others.
Canada is supposed to be a civilized country and an extremely wealthy country. But there are thousands of stories from people who have lost their way and have ended up homeless in Vancouver.
85 percent of people on the street have mental health issues, and drugs and alcohol complicate the situation.
Research shows that you need to start with a roof over your head and have support before you can even begin to address the other issues.
Dedicated first responders and support workers are the foot soldiers, savings dozens of lives each and every day on the eastside of Vancouver, and they never stop, working 24/7.
