Coats For Homeless Youth

IMAGINE SPENDING A NIGHT SLEEPING ON THE STREET.

NOW IMAGINE DOING THIS IN THE DEAD OF WINTER.

There are thousands of homeless youth across the country doing this every night.
                                      
                                                YOU CAN HELP.

EVERY DOLLAR RAISED GOES DIRECTLY TOWARDS THE PURCHASE OF BRAND NEW HOODED WINTER COATS.


CANADIAN WINTERS ARE ROUGH, THE LEAST WE CAN DO IS TRY TO KEEP SOME KIDS WARM.
Your donation can be the difference between life and death.

40% OF CANADA'S HOMELESS YOUTH ARE LGBT

With your generosity, we can save some lives....please give what you can.

Unfortunately, I am not a registered charity. So I cannot issue receipts for tax purposes:(

As in previous years, photos and receipts of everything purchased using these funds will be made available .
