Why fundraise for homes first!

Meet Paget

For the past 4 years, she’s been one of Homes First’s most dedicated fundraisers, raising thousands of dollars and essential items to support people experiencing homelessness. After losing her sister to a drug overdose in 2013, and feeling frustrated with government systems, Paget turned her grief into action by fundraising to inspire real change in her community.

Her message? Your country is only as good as how it treats its most vulnerable.

Hear more of Paget’s inspiring story of mobilizing her community.
