Winnie from Gjoa Haven (now living in Yk) loves to sew. She says it helps especially when she’s on medical because she needs to keep her hands busy. This table runner she is working on is just deadly! Sewing Circle is every other Wednesday at Larga from 7-9pm.

Mahsi to Suzan Marie for leading sewing circle last night. Great talks about being caregivers and the cancer journey and what it’s like being away from home for an unknown time. Plus the Oilers gave us LOTS to cheer about. 🧡💙

Mahsi to the Office of Client Experience & Indigenous Patient Advocates for joining us at sewing circle at Larga 😀☕️ great to meet in person with these wonderful NWT ladies who are supporting our Northerners going through the health system. Just what we need to help our people.

New Larga Edmonton location coming soon

Mark your calendar for this upcoming event here in Edmonton! I often hear from Northerners in Edmonton who feel alone and miss community. I hear from patients and escorts how much they miss home. We put this special event together to bring a piece of home to here in the big city.

#yeg friends if you can help with #nwtfire evacuees pls let us know. Needs vary but many requests for diapers, wipes, toiletries. Cash donations accepted too: [email protected]

Still have two #NWTWildFire families in #yyc waiting to be matched with helpers. DM if you can assist. 💜

💜💜💜

And with *far* fewer amenities, cell service along the way, too! Donate: @/nwtmutual aid (on instagram); Melinda Laboucan (Goba Care) gobacare.ca

Mahsi CityNews Edmonton for getting the word out about Goba Care and what evacuees are going through. Hotel-friendly food, toiletries, strollers are the biggest requests right now. If you can donate pls get in touch. #NWTWildFires edmonton.citynews.ca/video/2023/08/…

Out early restocking for NWT evacuees 💖 come by noon to 4pm for pickup. DM for address. Goba Care has supported over 500 NWT evacuees so far. Many walking thru the doors and deliveries to hotels. Couldn’t do it without generous donations and volunteers. Mahsi 💖 #NWTWildfires

Loved being able to share the story of Goba Care this morning. Mahsi tara mccarthy 🙋🏼‍♀️
