N.B. woman to hike Sahara desert in support of affordable housing project
While Hayes has never walked the path of homelessness, she believes the housing model should be expanded right across the country “Love to have a Marcel in every community across the country,” she said, “not just getting them into homes but also to help them feel dignified and to feel loved and valued and important in society.
” While she trains, 12 Neighbours has just finished its 40th home that was placed on the site this week. Breaking down barriers while encouraging others to set aside judgements and walking a mile in someone else’s shoes is a mindset both Hayes and LeBrun share. “Anyone who has lived outside is incredibly resilient and is incredibly capable, because it is very difficult to do,” said LeBrun. “And now they have the opportunity to turn that energy toward helping become more independent in their lives and we just watch them go.”
