Hope in the Dark

Last night I participated in The Center of Hope's 4th annual Hope in the Dark

The Centre of Hope is Fort McMurray's homeless shelter helps homeless people by inspiring hope, encouraging change through love, kindness and acceptance. Last night was the 4th annual Hope in the Dark, a Homelessness Awareness campaign where residents could sign up to sleep and eat rough for a night. We had to trade pop bottles and cans for a hot dog. We were able to gather some flattened boxes to sleep on. Don't leave your stuff unattended or it may disappear!

At around 11pm a candlelight vigil was held for those patrons of the centre that we have lost. Earlier in the night Tina from Southbound sang a few songs as well as David with his guitar and Nathan did some thought provoking spoken-word. I wanted to share this video to describe the stats from 2013.

I have never written a blog with videos but this is the only way to relay the message. Thanks to my BFF for recording it.
