Without a home

An annual charity event is raising money for the homeless. Sarah Redekop has the story.

Five University of Lethbridge students are living outside for five days to raise money for the homeless. The annual Five Days for the Homeless fundraiser began on Sunday. The students live outside without communication devices, showers or their own food. The money raised will go to local youth shelter, Woods Homes. Participant Stephanie Wickham says because she grew up in this community it’s important for her to give back. The event will run until Friday and they are hoping to raise ten thousand dollars.
