About the author
LightHouse Dann Verner
16 books4 followersOn Christmas morning 2019, My 29 year old son, Delaney Jordan McLean Verner, hung himself in an obscure town in the underbelly of Alberta, Canada.
A town called "Black Diamond".
He and his wife of 12 years, Katelyn had gone their to start a new life.
Hoping to escape the homelessness rut and street life they were “Groundhog Day“ living on the streets of Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
A dream that collapsed and left them stranded, freezing and hungry in the middle of a viscous minus fifty degree Celsius blizzard.
Although this is my son's biography, it is also a call to attention as to how we are placing the lives of our youth in the hands and care of a "Broken System."
A system that MUST be scrapped and a new approach and system built from scratch.
A task that will take years to complete but is absolutely necessary as we have so many youth in crisis during these present times.
I promised Jordan I would tell his story and that I would show the world how broken our Child Welfare System and it's collective agencies is failing these youth and their families.
That they do far more harm than good.I speak and show in detail what the eleven years of his being in care did to him and our family.
How he fell through every crack in their system.

Even though I am the author, I've only just read "DAMAGED" for the first time.
As the author I'm a slight prejudice, but I'm my defence I can honestly state that I never read "Damaged" till after it was published. I left all the spelling and formatting mistakes within on purpose. My reason being, my life is flawed with mistakes - as is my re-telling of it. I take great pride in my honesty - whether in shame or not. THE PAST CANNOT BE UNDONE. I pray that my stories will touch at least one soul and guide their decision on which path to "Walk".
