Jaime lived with schizophrenia, a condition that made it incredibly challenging to find steady work and feel understood by employers. For years, Jaime struggled to navigate life in Vancouver with uncertainty.

But when Jaime came to Mission Possible, he found structure, encouragement, and a community that saw their strengths. With training and consistent support, Jaime regained confidence.

Today, he is working toward long-term stability and independence.

“There was a time I felt like I was losing my whole life.
I had no home, no safety, no place to rest. I felt alone."

Winter can be a difficult season for anyone, but for people facing barriers like Jaime, it can feel especially isolating. The cold months often highlight just how far stability can seem.

That’s where compassionate donors like you step in.

When you give, you’re not just offering a donation; you’re helping someone take a real step forward. For many, including people like Jaime, that first step becomes life-changing.

“Two years ago, I had no house, no place to stay, nothing,” I tell people. “Today, I have a place where I can cook, I can take a shower, I can sleep, I can work. It’s very nice. Sometimes I don’t believe it’s true."

     

When you become a Momentum Partner, you join a caring community of monthly donors who help people rebuild their lives — one step, one job, one person at a time.

Every day, someone in our neighbourhood is searching for warmth, stability, and a new beginning. Your gift today could be the opportunity they’ve been hoping for.

 

How We Help

For people facing the significant barriers of homelessness, poverty, and addiction, the opportunity to secure meaningful work is often out of reach. At Mission Possible, we believe in people's inherent capacity for growth, and the transformative value of work. 
 
Through our flagship Employment Readiness Program we offer pre-employment training, one-on-one coaching, and support to help people achieve their goals.

And through our two in-house social enterprises, community members have access to meaningful work — an opportunity to hone their skills, adapt to new routines, and gain valuable employment experience and references.

 

How You Can Help

Every time you give to Mission Possible, you’re providing someone in our community with the skills, practical training, one-on-one coaching, and support they need to step boldly back into the workforce and into a future filled with possibility.

Here’s some examples of how we put your donation to work at Mission Possible:

$25

for a high visibility vest for an MP associate

$84

for two weeks of lunches for an MP associate

$150

for waterproof rain gear for one MP associate

$500

for resources to run our flagship Employment Readiness Workshop
