Halifax family searching for new home after Fiona destroys apartment building
“They ask us something basic: ‘What’s for lunch?’ I don’t know.”Jonathan Misener and Bryana Marcina, along with their five children pictured here, have been displaced after post-tropical storm Fiona destroyed their apartment building in Spryfield.
The Canadian Red Cross is operating the shelter, and says the space will be open until all 27 people using it have found alternative lodging.“We try and communicate with them as much as possible, just to know that when they wake up in the morning, they have somewhere to stay that night.
Misener says the current housing crisis has added to their struggle. The family has started a GoFundMe fundraising account in the hopes of getting back on their feet. “Financially, if we have enough to pay for rent, then I mean it’s still hard to find a place but we are trying. We are looking. If there’s someone out there that knows or could help, that would be great,” Misener said.“We’re trying to reach out to who we can to tell our story,” she said.Tenants still displaced from two Halifax apartment buildings damaged by Fiona© 2022 Global News, a division of Corus Entertainment Inc.
