I grew up right here in Regina, and this city has always felt like home to me. One of my favourite things about living here is spending time around Wascana Lake in the summertime—it’s peaceful, beautiful, and gives me a sense of calm. Family to me right now means love and comfort, the kind of steady support that helps us get through anything. My two children are both intelligent, loving, and … [Read more...] about Shennia B.

Patricia J. (ID#YWCA0585)
I grew up in the small town of Govan and came to Regina at 15 to finish high school, and it has felt like home ever since.

Family has always meant everything to me, especially after becoming a mother and after losing my own mom to cancer ten years ago—I try every … [Read more...] about Patricia J. (ID#YWCA0585)
Jessica M. (ID#YWCA0988)
I am currently working on completing my Business Administration program after taking a break from school to raise my children. Both of my kids were born and raised in Regina, and even though I moved here at 17 from my reserve, this city has become our home.

Tiffany BC (ID #YWCA0489)
My name is Tiffany, and I was born and raised in Winnipeg by a single parent. I first came to Saskatchewan as a teenager when my mom became sick and wanted to return to our homelands, and after she passed, this province became an important part of my story. I feel more welcome in Regina than I ever did in Winnipeg, and it’s become a place where I want to build stability for my family. Family means … [Read more...] about Tiffany BC (ID #YWCA0489)
Katelyn C. (ID# YWCA0995)
I grew up in Moose Jaw, and moving to Regina three years ago gave me the chance to build a new life for my family.

Right now, I’m working hard on building healthier routines at home, like … [Read more...] about Katelyn C. (ID# YWCA0995)
Maria N. (ID# YWCA0762)
MN was born in England and moved to Regina when she was just two years old. She has always been surrounded by stories of resilience — from her father, who changed careers to support the family, to her own journey of finding joy in everyday moments. Though she no longer crochets, MN fills her days with music, laughter, and her favourite game shows at the Community Hub. Known for her quick wit and … [Read more...] about Maria N. (ID# YWCA0762)
Courtney K. (ID# YWCA0593)
Growing up in Regina, life wasn’t easy, and much of her childhood was spent in foster care. Now, as an adult, CK is working hard to create the stability and love she didn’t have growing up. Her four-year-old son is her greatest motivation, and she treasures every moment they spend together, especially going swimming. Recently, CK has overcome legal challenges and continues to work closely with … [Read more...] about Courtney K. (ID# YWCA0593)
Katherine P. (ID# YWCA0182)
I grew up on my reserve, and throughout Saskatoon and Yorkton, and I moved to Regina at 30 after fleeing an abusive relationship. Regina has become home to me — it’s familiar, welcoming, and cozy in a way I never expected. Family means everything right now; it’s about supporting each other, staying honest, and raising my kids to have integrity. I’ve always had a full home with many children in my … [Read more...] about Katherine P. (ID# YWCA0182)
