| I did not have the mental strength at the time to demand all communications to be conducted over email and that was mistake. Instead, I remember I worked up the strength to phone only to have my mental health sent reeling backwards as I was told services were only available to women and seniors. |

Good morning Dan, I am a claims coordinator with the Crime Victim Assistance Program, part of the Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General. My supervisor has forwarded your email to me so I may touch base with you to determine how I may best assist you. To that end, I invite you to call me at 604-660-3888 if you are in the lower mainland, or toll-free at 1-866-660-3888. I am at extension 114, which will work for both the local and toll-free telephone numbers. Or, you may provide me with your telephone number via return e-mail and I will contact you. I am in the office today until 430 pm, and will be out of the office tomorrow (January 20, 2017). I will be in the office next week Monday through Friday, and am available between 830 am and 430 pm. Sincerely, Gayle Claims Coordinator Crime Victim Assistance Program |
