Back home in Jamaica, in Portugal, in Greece, there was the support network of the extended family

Original Toronto Star caption: Back home in Jamaica; in Portugal; in Greece; there was the support network of the extended family. When a mother went out to work her mother or aunt could babysit. When a husband took off with the guys; there were plenty of wives to sympathize. But here is Canada; thousands of miles from that warm family network; these immigrant women can face a life of loneliness; said Judith McCallum; a Jamaican immigrant who went through that lonely period herself and is now starting a support group for the single immigrant; men and women.
