Thanks to ESS (Emergency Social Services), we managed to buy a bunch of clothing and food. After the apartment fire, we weren't allowed to live there anymore. We weren't allowed inside the apartment for a week, so we got some money for clothes, food and incidentals.
All of this was given to the 100+ people that were left homeless. The more people in your family, the more you get.
$800.00 for Zellers - I spent this on clothing.
$400.00 for Safeway - This was used for incidentals and food.
$350.00 from a trust fund - This went towards rent.
$200.00 Gift Card for Superstore - For food and diapers.
$300.00 from the manager of the apartment that burned - Also went towards rent.
Without the ESS, we wouldn't have been able to move to a new apartment. They paid for our food, clothing, toiletries and diapers.
I feel extremely awful for spending that money, since I didn't work for it.![]()
