Join us in celebrating Penny, Housing Support Coach at Lutherwood, who was recently awarded with the Christine Wilson Outstanding Housing Worker Award at the Region's National Housing Day event last week and received a heartfelt testimonial from a past client. "Penny is one of those caring people. She worked continuously to make sure I had all the help I needed to acquire a job, to better myself. She would even show up just to check on my health and well-being, or even just to chat. No one has ever done that for me." Thank you, Penny, for your commitment to making a difference in our community. #WaterlooRegion #CommunitySupport

"I was in a cycle. I would be okay, then would struggle, then would crash and self-harm. Lutherwood had people there for me, always helping me. Instead of turning to self-harm, I learned to sit in my anxiety and feel it, to build awareness and resilience. Now, I am more confident and I know what I want in life. I miss the incredible staff there."
