<div>I’m 17 and I attend cathedral high school I’m in grade 12. When I graduate I want to go to college and become a police officer.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>January 5th I was driving home from a friend’s house, when I noticed smoke coming from a tent above Bayfront Park. I drove over to the area and noticed that the smoke was black I immediately knew something was wrong.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I approached the tent, I could hear a man screaming “help me“ I called my dad and told him to “come quickly and call 911” I then called my mom. I was frantically waiting for help to arrive as the man was screaming and I knew we had less than minutes to spare. My mom told me to wait and help was on its way. I told my mom “I can’t, I have to go in or he will die”
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I went in and I was able to pull him out with seconds to spare before the tent was fully engulfed in flames.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The man was on fire and I rolled him in the snow and began patting the fire out.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>When Help arrived we were both transported to hospital the man was in critical condition while I was treated for smoke inhalation and carbon monoxide poisoning.  
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Through the man’s family I recently learnt more and discovered his name is Shawn. Today (Sunday January 12th 2025) when I went to visit Shawn he told me his story and it left me speechless.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He is recovering in the ICU.  He is going to be OK but has a long hard road to recovery. He is an amazing man who has fallen under hard times.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He is homeless. His monthly income doesn’t cover the cost of living. He can’t get on his feet and develop stability.
</div>
<div>I’ve created this Go Fund Me for Shawn with the hopes that when he gets out of the hospital he has a small nest egg to help gain some stability so he can recover emotionally and physically in a safe warm place.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m asking everyone, all my family and friends, reaching out to the community and asking for help. If everybody could dig deep and just give a little, I truly feel it could go a long way. I believe everything happens for a reason. I was in the right place at the right time and was able to save Shawn. I don’t want a medal or gifts. I want Shawn to have peace of mind.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you to everyone for your support and kindness.
