Hope, Love, and Perseverance: Building Home and Finding Community on 20th Street
-
Description
-
At the time of this interview, David Fineday was 56 years old. From a Cree family, David learned early-on how to face and overcome various challenges, including physical abuse at an young age. When he was three, he was diagnosed with tuberculosis and had to live away from his family for nearly two years. Fortunately, he was cured of the disease and was able to reunite with his family and home, only to be taken away to a residential school. Soon after returning home from the residential school, he left once again and lived homeless for many years. In his later years, David’s always positive nature and determination to get a firm grip on life led him to dedicate himself to helping others to overcome similar challenges. For David, every day is a chance to make someone feel better; this in turn makes him feel better as well. Mr. Fineday currently is one of the staff members at the Friendship Inn, a core neighbourhood community centre that serves people and families in need.
