I just found out the sad News and it's VERY sad she died so young....I learned a lesson...when someone is in the hospital and emails you to visit them?
Don't let your busy world stand in your way!!!
Go and visit them. I didn't drop in for a visit and now she's gone...:(
Sadly it was Carla Birthday on December 31th. I left a message saying - Birthday? I taught you were dead???
No joking manner....maybe she was dead....:(
We have lost a great human being. She had a heart of Gold...
She always reminded me that she owns me a coffee...:)....If I'm allowed to go to heaven? I hope to have that cup of coffee with my good friend.
We have lost a great one and May Carla find peace that she had a Very difficult time to find in this life on Earth...
:(
:(
Good Bye my friend and till we meet again....:)
Here's some Blogs I made on Carla a few years ago -
Here's one of my first interviews < audio > Click below -
When this building first open? I had a chance to get a room in that much needy place but I refuse.
The reason is because I'm always on the go!!!! In and out the door I go!!! You know??? ADHD STYLE!!!
Remember the big flood? If I lived in the North Side it would have been impossible to blog the over 1,000 I took for the whole world to witness.
The new building is located away from the Downtown area.
At first, I believe the reason it was located in that area? It would remove the less fortunate from the Downtown area.
You know? Out of sight and out of mind!!!
But many of the less fortunate were very happy to get a place in the new building. Such as Sandra who collects empties to earn a few extra bucks.
The same building is to be built in the South end of Saint John but some people don't want it there!!!
I don't get it!!!
This place will add some beauty to the area.
Many in Saint John are living in small rooming houses around the City.
Mind you? It wasn't all roses at first in the new building in the Capital.
Just imagine for a seconds. Close to 50 people with different mental or physical disabilities living under the same roof?
A good friend of mine Carla LeBlanc agreed to grant me a youtube interview.
It's pretty interesting.
You can listen to the interviews by clicking below -
Part one -
Carla talks about low profit housing
Part two -
Low profit housing is a good place to live
My ADHD went overboard for a minute. Carla used to be into heavy drugs so I asked her views on this issue. Listen to her answer -
Part three -
Drug problem in New Brunswick
Part four -
DRUGS ARE NOT WELCOME IN LOW PROFIT HOUSING!!!
Go and listen to Carla LeBlanc up front interview by click below -
A few weeks ago, I was standing at a corner waiting for the lights to change.
I noticed this girl standing beside me so being Charles?
I began a conversation.
Her name is Karla LeBlanc.
She has been a junkie for years and is now a person who trying to help others get off prescription drugs.
You can read a past blog I wrote about this issue by clicking below -

I noticed that Carla could spot drugs materials on the streets better than me.
She would pick the items up and put them in a garbage bag.
I bought Carla over my place and had an interview.
I believe it went well. If you wish to hear first hand the story of a junkie on the streets? Click below.
Someone told me that Carla gives the definition of the word - HOPE a stronger meaning!!!
It’s sort of like the Russell interview but more clearer.
Carla is an individual the Province needs to educate the public of what’s going on here in New Brunswick?

Its to bad that this lady passed away so young of age, but 333 cliffe street is still full of drugs and small time drug dealers......I could name names but that would wrong,but the owners/caretaker needs to do a lot of work to clean up that building .

Don't feel bad Charles, you did a great job covering her issues and bringing the matters into the public eye. This is the worst province for helping people who are down and less fortunate. She is clearly intelligent and well spoken - sad loss.
ReplyDeleteCarla (Dawn) was my aunt. We lost communication when she turned to drugs. I miss her so much, it breaks my heart. I am 42 now, the age she was when she passed. I love the words in this. She was very special, and very loved. Until I hear that giggle again, she is forever in my heart.
