Basic Needs

Many people in Canada don't have food, shelter, clothing, family kinship, spirituality, learning, leisure, environment safety, transportation/mobility, economic security, work/career, community and social relationships. these are 12 basic needs. These people are mostly the homeless. In Canada you can see people just walk by a homeless person thinking that they should just get a job and and stop being lazy. I’ve heard people say this, even i hear my family say this and i really disagree, in youtube you can see people giving money to people. for example a youtuber known as MagicofRahat change a homeless man’s life by giving a winning lottery ticket and the man just cried and thanked Rahat. Rahat then set up a fundraiser to help the homeless man. months later he would receive quite a lot of money. Rahat then splits the money. one for the house, one for the furniture and one for the clothes and food. Rahat becomes friends with the homeless man and would come with him to buy his clothes. maybe a week or 2 the man gets a job and it really changed his life from there. So think about how you can change someone’s life by just doing something nice to them. And just think of how many people on earth need basic needs to help them survive. Because many people die because of something that government can't just simply do to save many lives.
