A gathering in downtown Nanaimo aimed to shed light on the case of a missing 22-year-old woman who wasn’t been heard from in six months.
Sherry Corrigal, last in contact with family in early September, was reported missing to Nanaimo RCMP on November, 9.
Samantha Agnew, Corrigal’s most recent foster mom, had tears in her eyes describing the pain she’s in.
“I just want her to be okay and to let us know she’s okay and to let her know that if she needs help there’s help. I’m here, call me, I’m a phone call away. “I love her and miss her and I want her back.” Agnew said during an awareness event on Sunday, March 3 at Maffeo Sutton Park.
Agnew said Corrigal is a selfless person who cares deeply about others, whose also been taken advantage of in the past, including from intimate partners.
“She was always very thoughtful of other people, if she saw other people in trouble she would always insert herself, she would never worry about herself, and now it’s her in trouble.”
Agnew said Corrigal signaled a genuine interest last summer to reverse a spiraling lifestyle of addiction and homelessness and had planned to attend a formal addiction treatment program.
“I had deep conversations with her about that and she said ‘I need to clean up.’ I said ‘I will help you, I will walk that walk with you.’”
