There's a downtown Toronto youth homeless shelter that is under threat of being shut down.
Eva's Phoenix is a Toronto shelter that assists at-risk youth, and have three shelters currently in operation.
The city of Toronto is eyeing the possibility of selling the land that one of the shelters is on.
Head here to sign the petition asking the city to reconsider:

Watching the band
"You know this is a charity event, right? The donation box is over there".
I'm shooting a bunch of bands for Junos Fest & it's actually slipped my mind that one of my 'extra' shows is a charitable event.
I hang out for a bit, take just a few photos and on my way out, I stuff a bill into the jar, ignoring the sale girl's shouts to give me a commemorative wrist band.
I could have been an arse and just walked out without making a donation, but I'm really working on being more aware of things.
This is the fourth act of quasi-kindness, but only the second that I've actually done. Two of the acts were requested donations (one from my now ex co-workers and one in lieu of a gift card that I'd only misplace somewhere in the apartment).
I'm just working on settling into a few major changes, but once I (kinda) do, I'll start with the volunteering and lay off of the monetary donations.
This project is about me DOING more than I have in the past few years. Giving money is great, but I'd much rather give my time.
