Confessions of a Home Sharing Provider: Who Even Cares?

 “So, what exactly is a Home Sharing Provider?” I asked a friend once. He paused. “Is that, like, an internet provider... but for housing? Maybe like Airbnb?” Makes you laugh—until it doesn’t. The Reality Behind the Title When I first learned what being a Home Sharing Provider actually means, I was shocked. It’s not a trendy gig. It’s not tech. It’s not Airbnb. It’s something far more demanding—and far less acknowledged. A Home Sharing Provider is someone who opens their home to care for an adult with disabilities, offering round-the-clock support. You become a caregiver, a house manager, a cook, a therapist, a planner, and a crisis responder—rolled into one. You do it all.

About me

Welcome, and thank you for visiting. My name is Viktor. I was born in the 20th century, in a quiet corner of a giant spiral galaxy we call the Milky Way—on a small blue planet named Earth, near the geographic center of Europe, in a beautiful seaside city in Ukraine. I now live in Vancouver, Canada, where I enjoy exploring architecture, landscapes, and fleeting human moments—captured through photography and video. This blog is more than just visuals. It’s a space where I share what moves me — not only through the lens, but also through translated poetry, personal essays, and reflections on the world around us. You’ll find stories here—sometimes quiet, sometimes bold. They may appear as images, words, or unanswered questions. If something resonates with you, I’d love to hear from you. Let’s stay thoughtful, let’s stay human. ST SASKTODAY.ca A fresh perspective from Viktor Birkus WTW ...

Existing or to be . Written by Yuri Voronov. Translated by Viktor Birkus. Among at all that intertwined in our life, Quite often selfishness leads us. Existing or to be, that is the question. Look like someone or somebody to be? Be brave, or just pretend to brave? You sacrificed, loved, created, taught, Or only talk about it in public, Afraid confess you in the truth? What striving you: pretending or to be? How much cost life in luxury and rest, When try to sculpt her into falseness dress? Pretend is easy, difficult to be.
