Candice Strassburg had her friend send her a picture of a family that lost their family home in a legal battle as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. She was touched by this story as no one deserves to be in that kind of situation no matter who you are, especially during this time.

Candice further describes her process reaching out to The Big Favour and meets Linelle.
Take a listen to how that went.
