The city of Toronto is eyeing the possibility of selling the land that one of the shelters is on.

Too close to home

Earlier this week I got a phone call from a friend. He sounded very off and declared that he was having the worst day ever. I asked what was up, and all he managed to get out was "Fire. My apartment. I lost everything. Even my cat."

Turns out that a faulty dollar store power bar was the culprit.

Needless to say he's still in shock a few days later.

He's staying with friends for the next little while, but he's already put the call out for help in looking for a new abode.

I'm hoping to get some donations to help him out. Clothes, toiletries, anything really.
If you're able to help, let me know...
