A Moment for MDS - “Empathy came at a high price” says MDS Canada volunteer and disaster survivor
 
Jim Reimer, an MDS volunteer from Steinbach, Man., knows firsthand what it’s like to lose everything—he lost his house and belongings in a 2022 fire. Now supervising a rebuild for a family hit by disaster, he says, “It’s good to help people like others helped me.” While the new home can’t replace memories, his empathy and experience make him a comforting presence for those MDS serves.
