Published purpose

The objective of the project is to purchase a wellsite trailer for our foreign workers is to keep them and our family safe during this time of COVID-19. The foreign workers on our farm are normally housed in a room in our home and become part of our family for the duration of their stay to experience the Canadian Culture. We are in need of providing the foreign workers with a safe and suitable living space outside our home, which will allow physical distancing when needed. Our foreign workers are exploring our beautiful country/province on their days off, and as a family with young children we would like to be able to keep a physical barrier between our family and the foreign worker to keep our family safe. Our current financial situation does not allow us to make such a purchase on our own and all we would be able to supply is our own older holiday trailer, which does not provide proper shower and bathroom facilities.
