What would you do with $5,000? Our Place users thankful for gift

,

Our Place Society receives a generous gift from a man experiencing homelessness in Greater Victoria.

Members of the street community and clients of Our Place were reacting to the news that a Langford homeless man donated the $5,000 raised for him to reward his generosity after he turned in $2,500 cash he found in a Langford parking lot in June. When West Shore RCMP found the man to tell him about the donated funds, he said he wanted the money to help other homeless people in Greater Victoria.
