Congrats to you and Tony. Here’s hoping for at least three more!

Congrats to both of you for doing this and helping us understand what it’s like to live on the street, have no money and try to scrape by on what you can get from “donations”. I’m sure we all thought about Tony over the last couple of weeks when he was hospitalized and then when he was told he had to move from his street location. Tony, we’re thinking of you brother. Hang in there!

Hello,
Phil and Tony you certainly have put out an illuminating blog! So of course I thank you – again.
Now to the issue at hand -and I can imagine there must be more to this current story – but a person in Tony’s health condition – at this time surely should not be on the street. Two major illnesses! I do hope he is referred to some facility where he can ‘stay’ while in treatment.

Hi Phil,
I stumbled upon your blog when doing a bit of research on homelessness in Toronto. I work for a research group on homelessness in Toronto and we are gathering testimonies from the homeless and those who work with the homeless in Canada to post on our website to raise further awareness. If you’re interested in spreading Tony’s story further across Canada, please do get in touch!
Hang in there, Tony!

Hi guys!
Congratulations on 3 years of blogging! I’ve been following you for maybe two of these years, and your blog is such an amazing combination of great images and profound and/or really funny words. Keep it up. I’m not in Toronto at the moment, and this blog makes me feel home in my heart. Thank you so much. xo
