Hey Everyone, I am writing to you today to discuss the homeless crisis. I currently staying at the Herb Jamison centre in Edmonton. I have noticed an uptick in people using homeless shelters and now I'm living in an overtaxed system. In this centre there are only a few places to sit down. This results in people sitting on the pavement which can lead to sickness and injury. I was therefore hoping that we can come together to start a donation drive to help with seating and common spaces near the centre. As such if you would be so kind as to review this matter and advise me it would be greatly appreciated. Stay Safe, Stay Sanitized and Stay Supportive, John Ames Birch @johneames2
