Richmond - I've worked as a craft maker for 3H Craftworks for seven years, a non-profit organization that gives work to people with disabilities.I cannot work at a normal job, so Craftworks was perfect for my situation. Staff would come once a month to my place to drop off supplies and pick up what I made the last month.I got a call from them last month, saying they got their funding cut by Vancouver Coastal Health,so there's no work for me (and 30+ other clients) for the next four months.My jaws dropped.Craftwork's art therapy program has helped me a lot: it's given me a creative outlet, structure during the day and supplemental income.If VCH's mission is to help people, I think it's defeating the purpose. VCH needs to re-evaluate its vision.Ho-Mei ChaRichmond
