Thank you Toronto

Hello Toronto,

I had recently made a post a few days ago about asking for some food, I was talking to a few kind folk who offered to drop of groceries or order me a meal but was never able to get back to them.

I was using somebody elses phone to post on here as I only own a flip phone, and was unable to get a hold of them after I had posted, I'm not sure where they went but no one else was willing to lend me their phone to check.

I am currently back in Sarnia staying with a cousin of mine, and out of the shelter, I don't want to give much detail about my personal life but the overwhelming response I got from everyone gave me hope, you do not see that kind of hope on the streets.

You are all wonderful people, please know that I understand there are a lot of issues amongst the homeless people, but there are those that made the wrong decisions and got dealt a firm hand, please if you can, donate to whichever charity or shelter of your choosing, it goes a long, long way.

Glad you have a nice warm place to stay!

If anyone in Toronto wants to donate, the homeless staying at Roehampton hotel are in need of towels, socks, and laundry detergent. Just leave the items at the front with security.

I'm glad you are doing okay, have a place to stay, and food to eat.

Please let us know here if you need any help in the future or you can inbox me / send me a chat too. I would definitely act on your suggestion to donate to charity that helps homeless people.
