Update 15, Gitxsan Grandmothers Struggle with #ChildWelfare #Poverty #Genocide
I'm sitting at the dentist with my grandson, Angel, and I just found out that our Blue Cross coverage has been canceled! Without his Indian status card, his MSP doesn’t work. I don’t have his court order, so I can’t add him to my work coverage.
Right now, the dentist is asking for payment, and I have no money to give. It feels overwhelming. Is this really the first child to go through the Section 54.01 process? Why do we have to keep facing these kinds of issues?
Here I am, stuck at the dentist, waiting for a call from Claudia or Andy. Will they even call me?
These moments are filled with worry, and it’s hard not to feel the weight of it all. But even in this frustration, I hold onto hope. We must keep advocating for our rights and the rights of our children. We deserve better access to healthcare and support.
I believe that together we can push for change. Our voices matter, and we must stand strong for our families. #MissingWork #WorkingPoor #NoDentalCoverage
