Living in British Columbia, I've seen the issue of homelessness firsthand for my entire life. Since I was a child, it has deeply saddened me to see another person who is experiencing daily life in a much harsher manner. I've always wanted to help, but just donating the little amount I have to someone doesn't solve the problem. I want to educate others on just how difficult their lives can be so that we may gain a better understanding of one another and hopefully set the stage to foster real change within the community. I am excited to host this event, as I believe it is an incredible opportunity for myself and others to help solve this growing problem in our community.
