Help Shine a Light on Homelessness Across Canada
A Misson Journey by Les Gillis
Starting July 15th 2025

Hi, my name is Les Gillis.

On July 15th, 2025, I'll be setting out on a cross-Canada journey to raise awareness about the growing homelessness crisis in our country. Right now, over 35,000 people are searching for a safe place to sleep each night - yet there's only around 20,000 shelter beds available. This doesn't include thousands more who are simply in need of a warm meal and a little hope.

For the past 10 years, ive visited Missions and shelters,playing music during lunch hours to bring comfort and connection to those in need. On this Journey of a lifetime, i plan to do the same thing -sharing music, stories and encouragement at each stop, while documenting it all and sharing regular updates along the way.

But I can't do it alone.
With your support, I can make this mission a reality. Any donation - big or small - will help cover travel costs and keep this outreach mission moving forward. My GoFundMe page is now active, and I'd be incredibly grateful for your support.

If you'd like more details or other ways to help, feel free to reach out to me directly at [phone redacted] please, share this with your friends and community- together we can make a difference.

Thank you,
Les Gillis
