Homeless Man Speaks

I’m certainly not homeless, but I don’t make the type of money it takes to really donate anything monitarily. (Mostly because, instead of working a job, I’m at home taking care of ailing family, and trying to get 4 households back into running order. Sometimes I wonder if I chose the right thing to do.–diffrent story.)
But there have been plenty of points Tony has made about money not being the only thing that you give to people. Is there a place we can mail Christmas cards, small gifts, whatnot?
Thanks, and God Bless.

I think we’ve been around this corner before Philip and Tony but if Tony is so ill, and I am very sorry to hear this, is there no shelter you can connect-find Phil to help him? What about your MPP Cheri Di Novo and her church on Roncesvalles? Can they not help?
thanks for all you are doing Philip

Maya,
Tks for your comment and questions .
Tony knows that there’s hospitals, social workers, welfare programs, charities, shelters, OHIP, etc., etc., etc.
That said, I can’t even answer your question. In more ways than might appear, Tony is an enigma to me (too).
‘ll ask him and I’ll get back to you.
Philip
