UNOFFICIAL DRAFT COPY OF OUR 1111 Wellbeing Agreement to be signed on or before April 4th 2024
BACKGROUND
Since 2015, the primary intention behind all agreements concerning the use of 10 Lisa Street, Suite #2502, Brampton, Ontario, has been for income-generating/business purposes. Indeed, 10 Lisa Street, Suite #2502, has served as the officially registered address for the not-for-profit organization Hope and Happiness Wellness Services, founded by Scott Gallagher, with Sameena Fernandes serving as the Executive Director. This address has also been associated with two additional not-for-profit organizations founded by Scott Gallagher: Addiction Free Youth, with Sameena Fernandes and Mike Mekhail as co-executive directors, and All Addictions Anonymous, where Sameena Fernandes was a board member.
From 2003 until April 3, 2022, Sameena resided at 4 Lisa Street #201 and worked at 10 Lisa Street #2502. Since April 4, 2022, she has both lived and worked at 10 Lisa Street. Sameena and Scott have been professional colleagues since 2010, conducting their work from 10 Lisa Street while operating as separate, distinct individual households and businesses. They have never been, are not currently, and do not plan to be in any form of romantic or domestic partnership in the future.
Sameena’s sole proprietorship, "Hope for the Soul TV," specializes in online organic Automated Facebook Marketing, video production, and implementation services. This business operates from 10 Lisa Street #2502, with exclusive access to the full living room area and the sunroom area adjacent to the kitchen.
Allocation of Hours and Training on ChatGPT for Advocacy and Business Expansion
In light of the evolving demands of our professional endeavors and to accommodate our disabilities, Scott commits up to 30 hours weekly to our mutual support agreement. A substantial part of this allocation is dedicated to training Sameena on using ChatGPT for advocacy, content creation, and enhancing our unique professional skills. Dr. Norman Goldberg's recent correspondence dated February 15th, 2024 underlines ChatGPT not just as an advanced technological tool utilized for social good but also as a compensation mechanism for our memory problems and other mental disabilities. It's a vital element of our daily operations, necessitating both Scott and Sameena to become proficient in its usage. Just as the internet has become indispensable for almost all businesses to remain competitive and provide value efficiently, ChatGPT emerges as both a medical necessity due to our unique challenges and an essential business tool for us.
This integration of ChatGPT into our work illustrates our commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technology to surmount our disabilities while ensuring our businesses thrive in a competitive landscape. Expenses related to maintaining access to the internet and ChatGPT are thus crucial for our well-being, given our disabilities, and indispensable for the operational success of our businesses.
Digital Documentation and Transparency
The domain IntegrityChoices.com, owned by Scott Gallagher since 2006, is currently undergoing a process of revitalization and repurposing. Initially acquired for different purposes, this domain is being transformed into a transparent platform to not only document and share our therapeutic efforts and joint Step 12 recovery activities but also to showcase our unique, distinct business offerings.
Scott, drawing upon his roots as a corporate headhunter and owner of an executive search firm for over 17 years, is committed to working with corporations and business owners. Meanwhile, Sameena focuses on working with individuals one-on-one, providing guidance with implementation and accountability for issues important to them. This includes the delivery of the Integrity Choices 12-week program on a Step 12 basis as well as on a compensated basis, with details yet to be determined and dependent on Ontario Works’ final confirmation of our arrangement.
This initiative to revitalize IntegrityChoices.com aims to dispel any misconceptions regarding our professional independence or any financial interdependence. The site is dedicated to offering a clear and honest insight into our struggles, achievements, and the unique nature of our collaboration, emphasizing the separation of our financial and business activities from our personal support system.
Documentation of Support and Medical Needs
This revised agreement, effective April 4th, 2024, continues to recognize the unique partnership between Scott Gallagher and Sameena Fernandes, established under the guidance of Dr. Norman Goldberg on April 4th, 2023. It formalizes the non-financial mutual support system, specifically addressing Scott's severe mobility challenges, cognitive impairments, and other health issues as detailed in Dr. Goldberg's correspondence.
The agreement affirms Sameena's role in assisting Scott with essential daily activities and medical appointments, a vital aspect of their caregiver relationship. Given the financial and health-related challenges exacerbated by Scott's inoperable vehicle and the pending ODSP application, this agreement underscores the importance of external support, including TransHelp services, to ensure Scott's access to necessary medical care.
It also highlights the critical nature of community assistance to mitigate the risks associated with the ODSP application process and the potential for severe consequences without adequate support. Both parties commit to maintaining their independence and managing their professional obligations within the constraints of their disabilities, as recognized by medical professionals. This agreement serves as a testament to their resilience and dedication to supporting each other in navigating these challenges.
Mutual Support and Independence
In recognition of Scott Gallagher's unique daily challenges, including mobility issues, ADHD, memory disabilities, and social anxiety, this agreement acknowledges the structured support system between Scott Gallagher and Sameena Fernandes. This support is non-financial in nature and is strictly aimed at accommodating Scott's disabilities to enhance his daily functioning and well-being. Sameena's assistance includes facilitating Scott's access to essential services, such as medical appointments and basic errands, acknowledging his reliance on specialized transportation services like TransHelp due to significant mobility limitations.
Furthermore, it is imperative to highlight that this mutual support system does not constitute financial dependence between Scott Gallagher and Sameena Fernandes. Each party maintains separate financial responsibilities and entities, and their collaborative efforts are solely in pursuit of mutual well-being and compliance with self-employment criteria established by Ontario Works. This agreement serves to document and formalize the mutual caregiver relationship that exists solely for the purpose of addressing each party's disabilities and ensuring their continued independence and ability to manage their respective daily activities and professional obligations.
Evidence of Professional Independence
The delineation of responsibilities and the structured nature of our working arrangement underscore the professional independence at the core of our agreement. By establishing clear boundaries and documenting our activities, we aim to dispel any misconceptions of financial co-dependence or a shared business model. This distinction is crucial in maintaining the integrity of our independent professional identities and highlights the non-financial support system established for mutual well-being and accommodation of disabilities. As we continue to navigate our professional and personal challenges, the revised "1111 Agreement" serves as a comprehensive documentation of our commitment to supporting each other while maintaining our independence and leveraging innovative solutions to enhance our professional endeavors.

His insights into corporate dynamics, talent acquisition, and strategic planning are invaluable assets that will be highlighted through the website.
Similarly, Sameena's focus on one-on-one coaching, providing guidance, implementation, and accountability on personal and professional issues, forms the cornerstone of her service offerings. Her approach, grounded in the Integrity Choices 12-week program, caters to both voluntary participants on a Step 12 basis and those seeking compensated services.

Services will be delivered live in person, over Zoom, through pre-recorded videos, telegram app texts or audio chats, emails, etc., as further explained in Dr. Norman Goldberg's ODSP Addendum letter.
Accountability for Tasks
Sameena will track the time she spends providing services and completing tasks for Scott that are challenging for him due to his ADHD and memory problems. These tasks include administrative duties, scheduling appointments, and managing online calendars, emphasizing the importance of written documentation to aid Scott's memory.
Step 12 Program and Sobriety
In alignment with the principles of the 12-step program from The Big Book Of Alcoholics Anonymous, it is understood that intensive work with other alcoholics is vital for recovery. Scott has never been financially compensated for the Step 12 work he does, and it is agreed that he will not be financially compensated for such therapeutic work, regardless of the duration of the work on any given day.
Mutual Support and Accommodation
This agreement was entered into freely without pressure, manipulation, or coercion, with the purpose of mutually supporting and accommodating each other's disabilities. It emphasizes the complementarity of Scott and Sameena's disabilities and their collaborative efforts for accountability and profitability, as recommended by Dr. Norman Goldberg.
