Albert Dumont
Ottawa's English Poet Laureate
"When a human being who lives in a home providing comfort and security for themselves and their loved ones no longer has empathy for individuals who live without shelter, it signals to Creator how hollow the human heart has become in today's world. The fact that none of us knows for sure if a day may arrive in the future where a beloved relative may find themselves homeless motivates me to support initiatives generated to end homelessness."
