Love Project Edition 1: Gluten Free Maple Syrup Rice & Oat Flour Cake

On Christmas morning, I randomly chose a subway station . Normally, there are many homeless people around the Langelier subway station, but on Christmas morning, there was not a single person. It was freezing outside, with temperatures around minus 10°C. Holding a box of cookies, I walked into the station.

In the distance, I noticed a dark figure curled up in a corner, resembling a stray dog trying to keep warm. As I approached, I realized it was a person, deeply asleep, likely no older than 35. I didn’t want to disturb his rest, so I gently placed the box of cookies beside him. In my heart, I silently wished him a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, hoping for his safety and well-being.

After leaving, I felt a complex mix of emotions. I had always donated to shelters, but this time, being up close to someone in that situation, I truly wished for him to regain a life of dignity.
