   is a Community Advocate who has always worked for those in need.

Who are most of these people ?

Their people who were  kind enough to put this web site together and the people who allow me to bring my services to you, they allowed me to use their Faxes, send and receive, use their computers, and make "long distance" calls at their expense, at their offices and  meet clients and loan me their car's, when mine isn't working.

They take messages, make referrals to me when someone needs help and I can assist  them..

Do you think you can help, even as a volunteer driver? I've helped hundreds of people "hands on" over the years, please, give us a hand. advocacy@dccnet.com

Please step up to the plate and send one flying for the little guys in our Community.

We need all the help we can get.

We will be accommodating two part time positions, one for mornings, the second

for afternoons. The positions will entail training in a number of areas related to

skills essential to Community services and Advocacy. If you would an opportunity to learn about service related skills and enjoy working with people in need, give us an e-mail at advocacy@telus.net  …..some computer skills are essential.
