#VolunteerGroups have purchased ice-fishing #shelters to help #homeless people brave the cold, wet weather in #Halifax, which received its first significant #snowfall of the season overnight Sunday.

Stephen Wilsack, who is a #volunteer at the #encampment across from #HalifaxCityHall, says he bought 10 tents himself and was reimbursed by “#GoodSamaritans,” and that 10 others were donated.

June 24, noon at Lovers Point in #PacificGrove: #CarnegieHero Award presentation to honor 3 of the #GoodSamaritans who are part of Steve Bruemmer's #SharkAttack story—#paddleboarders Paul Bandy and Aimee Johns, and #surf instructor Heath Braddock.
Free. BYO picnic lunch; cake will be served.

Steve Bruemmer to Sara Rubin of #MontereyCountyWeekly: "I don’t have #biking, #running or #OceanSwimming, but I’m living my life again. Maybe I’ll be able to ride a #bike again, maybe I’ll be able to walk without fear of falling....I’m really disappointed if this is permanent, but I can live a fabulous life." https://www.montereycountyweekly.com/people/face_to_face/a-year-after-he-was-bitten-by-a-shark-steve-bruemmer-continues-recovering--/article_d3fbaf7e-1075-11ee-aeda-dfe8aaeb0d81.html
