Project Connect draws 700 from street community to annual check
The shoes, with pointy toes and shiny black patent leather patches, were irresistible.
"They're kind of old-fashioned. Like Victoria," said Sylvia Duna-jtschik as she admired her feet.
It was an unexpected treat,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], pulled from racks and baskets of free clothes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], for Dunajtschik,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], one of more than 700 members of the street community who dropped in to Our Place on Pandora Avenue for the annual Project Connect service and information fair organized by Greater Victoria Coalition to End Homelessness.
Services ranged from haircuts to hand massages and, as live music played in the courtyard, Gordon Fry of Capital City Lions Club, the Beacon Bus crew and teams of volunteer helpers from KPMG served up 1,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],350 burgers, 600 hot dogs,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], two slabs of Nanaimo bars and a smattering of veggie burgers.
"They are hungry. We've never stopped," said Fry as the lineup finally wound down.
For Dunajtschik,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 52, who is homeless, the party atmosphere was a pleasant surprise.
"I heard about it last night and I have to get a birth certificate so that's why I came,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," she said. "It's just brutal out there. You get your stuff taken all the time. I got my purse stolen the other day."
Dunajtschik spends most of her life looking for places to sleep as she bounces between shelters,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], doorways and Beacon Hill Park.
"The 24-hour stores are very good, especially if you need to go to the washroom. It's hard to find a washroom downtown," she said. "I might go to Colwood. I might be safer out there."
One of the most popular Project Connect services each year is help with ID replacement, offered by MLA Carole James's office. Volunteers worked nonstop on more than 130 requests.
"I haven't had ID for five years, but I am marked - I have tattoos, so they know it's me,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," said Chad Rurak, who receives disability payments after two head injuries.
"I am struggling with the place where I pick my cheque up," said Rurak, who figures ID could make life easier.
Kevin Roe sighed with pleasure as he sunk his feet into a bowl of hot water and Epsom salts,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
"It's good to relax and it's good to get my toes cleaned, because sometimes that's hard to do," Roe said as Vanessa Reynolds, a fourth-year nursing student at the University of Victoria,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], prepared the next step.
"Sometimes we use Head and Shoulders shampoo because it helps fungal infections and then we clip the toenails and file them and sandpaper the calluses and look for warts and infections and cuts and blisters,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," Reynolds said.
Jeff Brand sat comfortably in a chair, acupuncture needles sticking out of his arms and legs. He hopes the treatment will help his digestive problems.
"I've wanted to do this for a while,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," he said. "It didn't hurt or anything. I could have had a nap."
More than 20 pets were treated by a team of veterinarians who brought them up to date on shots and worming and checked for other problems.
Hurley,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a black and white pit-bull mix, avoided the vet,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but ran into diet problems. "Someone fed him hamburgers and he barfed all over the place," said temporary caregiver Trevor Reid.
