<div>After a nine year hiatus, <strong>we are bringing back the Renegade Parade to Nuit Blanche 2026</strong>. But we can’t throw this party without your support.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our artists and organizers are donating time, skills and equipment.
</div>
<div>But there are still bills we need to pay for the event to go ahead:
</div>
<ul>
<li>Fuel costs to move our sound system, lighting and other equipment
</li>
<li>Insurance and professional driver for the party truck rental
</li>
<li>Materials for crew and artists (such as fuel for fire performers)
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you loved this event and want to see it again, donate what you can. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our target is the minimum amount it takes to run the event. Any donations above it will be used to improve production this year or upgrade next year’s edition. We plan to continue the tradition in 2027 and beyond. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>What is Renegade Parade?</strong>
</div>
<div>Renegade Parade is radical self-expression materializing as a mobile street rave during Nuit Blanche. DJs and a big sound system travel the Toronto Streets on a big fancy truck leading a crowd of community, dancers, fire performers and musicians.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Started in 2007, the event lit up the Toronto Streets for over a decade. Starting as a simple truck with a sound system and a rag tag group, the event evolved into a high level production we will match in 2026.

<div><strong>Honouring the Life of Mike Dineen</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On June 14th, we lost Michael Adam Dineen Ozari at the age of 36. Mike was a force of nature: an actor, filmmaker, comedian, and scholar. He was a world traveler, deep thinker, and kind soul who lit up every room he entered.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Mike leaves behind his beloved partner Dan, his family, and a diverse group of friends spanning his many walks of life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>“A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle.” -James Keller
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If Mike had a superpower, it was his endless capacity for loving others, for continuing to light each candle he came across. This is a person whose warmth and presence so deeply touched a constellation of people that an uncountable number of human connections across the world have Mike to thank.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are fundraising to plan a celebration of life worthy of a man who lived boldly, loved deeply, and left us far too soon.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your donations will help cover:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>Venue rental
</li>
<li>Permit applications
</li>
<li>Unique art installations and memorial pieces
</li>
<li>Event logistics and supplies
</li>
<li>Catering
</li>
</ul>
<div>The celebration will include a park memorial featuring the burning of a small effigy, a short parade to Revival Bar, and an indoor gathering where stories, music, memories and performances will be shared. All are welcome to attend.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Remaining funds will be given to his partner Dan to help with the financial hardships that come with such a profound loss.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for helping us give Mike the send-off he deserves.

Celebrating the Life of Mike Dineen

<div>Hello, my name is Ryan and I am the creator of Tiny Tiny Homes. I know how important it is to have a safe and secure place to call home, and I believe that everyone deserves that basic human right. Living in downtown Toronto, it breaks my heart to see the housing crisis everywhere, with tents in parks and people sleeping outside. Tents are for camping, not for housing. That's why I came up with the idea of creating a tiny home that is on a bicycle. This model is insulated, weatherproof, and watertight. The camper has a sofa that converts to a bed. Solar power for the lights and fan. Desk and 12 cubic feet of storage under the bed. This camper will provide people with a secure and comfortable place to live. I want to make a difference in people's lives, and that's why I am raising funds to buy materials to build my next tiny home. The first model i funded myself. My goal is to raise $2.23m to house everyone that is turned away from a shelter every night in Toronto. This will help me rent a larger shop space to build and store materials so I can bring the cost of each unit lower. I will construct more units and give the units away to persons in need. Each creates a safe and comfortable home for those who need it the most.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I would love if people would like to join my team. I'm looking for help with social media and marketing. I am looking to connect with housing advocacy groups. Any help is appreciated. I also will accept donations of plywood, caulking, PL, and rectangle tubing and rv windows. I am also looking for a larger shop space.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>By supporting my cause, you are not only helping me build tiny homes, but you are also helping to provide a solution to the housing crisis in our community. Your contribution will make a huge impact in someone's life, and I cannot thank you enough for your kindness and generosity. Together, we can make a real difference in the world, one tiny home at a time.

My story is as follows; when I was a wee lil kid, one years old to be exact I was involved in a very serious accident involving my father and a pellet gun. I was shot in the eye and rushed to sick kids hospital where I was in critical condition for several months and the doctors thought I would either die or have brain damage. Lucky fate was on my side and I came through the accident alive and with no brain damage. I lived with the bullet in my head until grade 11 when it was removed due to severe headaches. A coral implant was replaced in it's place to help the eye move. Since then I have had to live with this burden, every severval years I must get a new eye replaced for my growing body and to prevent infection (plus it feels so great for me everytime I get a new eye). I have had to deal with pain and infections all my life and it especially bothers me close to when a new eye is in need. <br /><br />As an adult I have to go in every 5 yrs to get the new eye made and then get it cleaned every month to keep dirt and bacteria away so there is no infection. Not doing so could lead to further damage in my other eye or the rest of my body.<br /><br />The cost is pretty high for this approx. $2000  now the price has gone up plus the $75 a month for cleaning and I still owe $250 from the last eye they made plus taxes. It also costs more throughout the year if I grow and have to get a build up it could be $500-800.<br /><br />As most of you know I have left retail and have been job searching to change my career and have had the sudden situation of having to move, so I do not have benifits nor will I have the money to pay for all of this for a long while. <br /><br />It has been many years long over due that I have needed a new eye. I have been a super trooper about it but it's at the point now it has been bothering me alot!!! The eye has sunken into the socket, its itchy, red, sore, swollen and constant discharge. I have bad headaches and sharp pains behind my eye.My body is rejecting the old eye so I must get the new eye made ASAP i can no longer put up with this burden any longer the mental and physical pain has become unbarable. i could use a little help.<br /><br />It could be highly dangerous and quite frankly I have been feeling less confident in interviews because of it and it has made findin a job seem utterly hopeless so I would just love to be able to go into my doctors office with confindence and get it done ASAP!!!<br /><br />I don't normally ask for help ever my pride always gets the best of me but waking up with this every morning brings my day down. It constantly bothers me I annoy my bf acting like the pirate from pirates of the carrabian. "Stop touching it!" hahaha <br /><br />So I ask all of you if you could either make a small donation or share my GofundMe page with your friends and family it would be so greatly apperciated. Any money made will do directly to my doctors office and any extra money made will go  to pay for the monthly cleanings and any other costs that may come up throughout the year. <br /><br />THANK YOU ALL for your help,understanding, support and kindness. Words can not express what this means to me to see so many people who love me and care for my well being &lt;3 XOXO <br /><br />-Melanie
