About this listen
With over 235,000 people a year becoming homeless in Canada, this is a huge issue. Join me as I discuss the topic of homelessness with my guest, Lara McLean, founder of an initiative called Everyday is Homeless Day, which she started at the young age of 13. Throughout the years, she has continued to grow it, and dedicates her free time to educating people, raising awareness, and removing the stigma associated with being homeless. Everyday is Homeless Day also supports two local charities - Haven Toronto and Women's Habitat of Etobicoke. You can get involved by reaching out to her via Instagram (below).
Host, Maria, is also passionate about this subject and has a fundraiser to help support a charity called Engage and Change. You can donate to her fundraiser at www.canadahelps.org/me/jtWrRne.
