How connecting with Norwood changes lives: Alicia's story

Video produced by the United Way Capital Region

Each year, the United Way illustrates the impact its funding has on real people in our communities with a series of video stories. A heartfelt thank you to Alicia and Ace for sharing their experience and to the United Way Alberta Capital Region for being a consistent partner in support of Norwood's vision for healthy children - healthy families - healthy communities.

Several years ago, Alicia left a troubled relationship and was starting her life over when she discovered she was pregnant. In a new city with few natural supports to rely on, she felt scared and alone when her baby arrived. Luckily, she found Norwood Child and Family Resource Centre's Parent Respite Program and the support she needed to move forward.
