MWAC is collecting donations for migrant farmworkers affected by Hurricane Beryl. Making history as the earliest Category 5 Atlantic hurricane on record, Hurricane Beryl left a trail of destruction that devastated migrant farmworker communities in the Caribbean.
In a significant step towards improving the health and well-being of seasonal agricultural workers, the Welland McMaster Family Health Team (WMFHT) and REACH Niagara, in collaboration with the Niagara Migrant Workers Interest Group, are excited to announce a new initiative that brings essential healthcare services directly to those in need through use of REACH Niagara’s Mobile Health Clinic, powered by TELUS.
The Migrant Workers Support (MWP) Team at the Niagara Folk Arts Multicultural Centre is starting this fundraising campaign for their client, Jose Gilberto May Cauich. Jose is a 53-year-old seasonal farm worker from Mexico, who has been recently diagnosed with End of Stage Heart Failure and Chronic Chagas disease.
