To help our donors, supporters and community understand the impact of their donation to Dixon Transition Society, we asked a client\u2019s son to share his experience staying at Wenda\u2019s Place<\/a>, our Second Stage Housing. He and his mom have since moved on to continue rebuilding their lives, but Wenda\u2019s Place will forever hold a special place in his heart:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was nervous when I first arrived at Wenda\u2019s Place with my mom, but the staff were welcoming to us and I was glad to have a place that felt like home. My favourite memory from Wenda\u2019s Place was doin<\/em>g all the group activities<\/em>. I enjoyed arts and crafts with Nicole and learning new things during group field trips and activities. The summer BBQs were fun too! It felt nice to just live a normal life. I really miss living at Wenda\u2019s Place with all the nice people. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

We asked him to say one thing to those who are going the #DistanceForDixon this summer. Here\u2019s the message he\u2019s passing on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you for going the\nDistance for Dixon because this is a good place. Your hard work makes it worth\nit for us and others who need a safe home.<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
