Reality check. ODSP max is $1,436 a month, about 60 percent below the poverty line. After rent, there’s barely enough for food or transit.

My bank has placed a partial block on my account because of the fallout from the loan scam. I can still receive money, and pre-authorized debits will go through if funds are available, but I need $120 to remove the block.
I also still have the $430 payment due by July 30.
If you're able to help in any way, or even share this post, I'd be incredibly grateful.

I don't usually admit when I get fooled, but I think it's important to be honest. Yesterday I was scammed, and I'm embarrassed, angry, and scared about what comes next.
It started with what I thought was an online loan company. Looking back, the email domain was the first red flag. They offered a $2,000 loan at 9.9% interest. It sounded like the lifeline I desperately needed.
Over the next couple of hours they kept me busy with emails and phone calls. They convinced me to accept a deposit, then told me I needed to buy a $200 gift card as "insurance" to prove I could make the loan payments. I wish I had stopped and questioned it.
I was juggling meetings, phone calls, and everything else life was throwing at me. By the time I realized what was happening, it was too late. They had taken advantage of someone who was already struggling.

Replying to
A couple of weeks later, I met with my diabetes clinic nurse practitioner. We discussed weight management and increasing my Ozempic dose. I asked if we could revisit that conversation in the fall because I want to see what I can accomplish through movement first. She agreed.
My goal isn't just about covering 6 kilometres.
It's about improving my mobility, continuing to build my health, and proving that meaningful progress comes from consistency, patience, and showing up even when the journey isn't linear.
So, for my 60th birthday in October, I'm planning to walk 6 km from Bayfront Park to Princess Point and back.
I hope to be joined by a few friends who have believed in me, inspired me, and encouraged me throughout this journey. Having people in your corner can make all the difference.
Looking back, it's remarkable how one decision to get on a bicycle transformed so many aspects of my life. Sometimes the smallest step, or pedal stroke, becomes the beginning of a much bigger journey.
