My home is in southern Ontario in Canada where I live with my spouse and 3 adult children.  I work at growing and preserving a large portion of the food we eat.  I have been involved with MCC’s work throughout my life in serving as a volunteer as well as donating  quilts, making comforters and giving financially.  Always I believed in the good work being done through this organization.  I am part of MAST because the experiences of those treated poorly by MCC are close to my heart and I wish to see the disconnect between this behaviour of and my trust in MCC’s good name be restored.

This member, a signatory of the June 11, 2024 open letter and a former MCC staff member from Asia, was fired in 202X after using MCC’s confidential reporting service, in the presence of one of the individuals who investigated their report of abuse. They need to remain anonymous for their safety.
