Dispatches from Vancouver's Downtown Eastside
"...Meet Bonnie Fournier, not just "Mom" to so many, but a gifted psychiatric nurse who took loving care of them as she patrolled the city's poorest postal code in her health van night after night, year after year. Cleaning their wounds was only part of her job; what was just as important was the friendship, practical advice and kindness she dispensed with the bandages and medicine.
Before she started working on the Health Van, Bonnie did the medical assessments of people in cells in the Downtown Eastside's (courthouse)...
Bonnie is one of the Downtown Eastside's heroes and her story will inspire you-and break your heart."
Stevie Cameron, Author of On the Farm: Robert William Pickton and the Tragic Story of Vancouver's Missing Women
