“This woman offered to cook for my friend because she heard he has cancer. It turns out she’s homeless. We’re going to surprise her with food tomorrow. “

A Vancouver woman offered to cook for cancer patient Brice Royer, after reading his Craigslist Ad “Unconditional Love” that went viral and reached over 1 million hits. It turns out she is homeless. Royer found out she lives in a Vancouver shelter with a 4 year old. (Source: Imgur)

She says: “Lots of women in our shelter struggle every month... I’ve been sharing what I have with them whenever I can. But sometimes it’s hard and I run out...”

She even offered to help him surprise someone in need with a food delivery this Tuesday. Royer and a farm are going to surprise her with $100 worth of organic food on Tuesday 8th at 11:50am. (Additional information: This translates to a biweekly delivery of organic food for 2 months through the charity farm who can provide it at a lower cost and donated by Tangotab.com, a company that fights hunger.) A day after posting the plea on Imgur, it has reached over 11,000 hits and an outpouring of support.

“It seems poor people offered to help … It’s incredible how those with the least want to help the most.” Royer said. A small farm in Surrey offered to give food and collect non-perishable items from the public. Tangotab.com, a company that fights hunger, also offered to contribute. (Update: Tangotab.com also offered to donate 250 meals in her name.)

“I hope we can get her enough food this month, and maybe her friends at the shelter too.” he adds.
