WE'VE GOT THIS

Alessia

Meet Alessia.

As we prepared for each We've Got This photoshoot, we encouraged people to bring along a prop or something that showcased how they have been keeping busy and resilient through this pandemic.

Well, Alessia's prop wasn't so much an object as it was a part of herself.

So, while you're meeting Alessia, also meet baby bump!

In Alessia's own words - why the bump?

"It's been easy to give in to the sadness, and a sense of purposelessness in these months, since the beginning of the pandemic.

Finding out that I was pregnant helped me remember how important it is to take of myself, both physically and emotionally!

Besides making my fiancé and I very happy, I realized how people I know - colleagues, friends and family - found happiness in the news of our pregnancy and how much sharing about our baby makes people cheerful."

    This photo series began as partnership between Community Living Guelph Wellington and Elle Chic Photography to showcase people’s “We’ve Got This” spirit. These photos tell a story. They are a testament of how people have persisted, how they’ve managed… how one year later, we’re still saying we’ve got this.

    Read about why we started the We've Got This photo series here.

    Additionally, May is Community Living Month. To help us jump start this photo series, we reached out to our community, our direct support professionals and the people they support, asking if they wanted to showcase how they have been managing the pandemic – their “We’ve Got This” spirit. The response has been incredible.

    All throughout May, Community Living Month, you will see photos on our social media channels from those who wanted to join in.

    We invite you to join in too.

  • This photo series is an open invitation to capture your “one year later” moment.

    Snap a photo or a short video of you and something that has been helping you to keep going through this pandemic. Post it to your social media accounts, and tag #GotThis #OneYearLater
