In rural communities across Canada there is an epidemic of Hidden Youth Homeless. These youth survive primarily through 'couch surfing' and when all other natural supports fail, they sleep outside, under bridges, in parks, trailers, cars and abandoned buildings.
Cornerstone Landing is a non-profit, charitable organization that supports youth who are homeless or at risk of homelessness across the County of Lanark, located just West of Ottawa. We are the only agency in the county dedicated to preventing, reducing and ending youth homelessness.
I'm participating in the Coldest NIght of the Year walk on February 22 to raise funds for this non-profit - money used to provide rent supplements to help provide homeless youth a place to live.
I hope you will sponsor my 5 km walk.
