I am 57 years old, and I haven’t seen my siblings in over 10 years. I moved to Vancouver from Quebec to start a new life after my wife passed away as I had such sad memories of her there. I’ve been told I have a very short time to live and before I go and I would like to see my siblings. I have been told I have disseminated cancer, likely colon. I do not have a lot of wealth accumulated; I only have my PS3, my bicycle and my TV. I’m not a rich person, though I wish I was; it didn’t work out that way.
I used to be a shipyard worker, composite materials and two step paints. Last year I was in an accident at work, and I haven’t been well since then. I did seven years service in the army, and was injured but never received compensation of any kind.
At the end of my life I want to be around people who know and love me, and those people are all in Quebec.
