Blanket for Homeless People Donations to Homeless on streets Day and night, there are about 30,000 people across Canada who are homeless. They are among the most vulnerable homeless people have higher rates of infectious diseases like HIV, mental illness and addictions, and much higher death rates than the average Canadian. The struggle for survival is often most pressing during the winter months when temperatures in Canadian cities can plunge to -30 degree Celsius and below. Environment Canada warns that at temperatures with a wild chill of -29 to -39 degree Celsius, exposed skin can freeze in 10-30 minutes with subsequent hypothermia and frostbite.

In 1990, during a layover in Zagreb, I was pushed out of an airport bus by a passenger who was rushing to catch her plane. The bus exit was several feet off the ground, and I fell, head first, onto the concrete. The impact caused severe brain damage: for years, I was unable to read and barely able to speak. I still suffer from chronic nerve pain, incontinence and spinal stenosis, and I require the use of a wheelchair. Between workers’ compensation payments and some financial support from my mother, I was able to cover my medical expenses and live independently in a Lawrence Heights condominium, which I bought in 2000 for $200,000.
