Hi, this is Khaleel Seivwright. Currently I have begun working on a new project called Fat Drop Trailers. We are building and selling camper trailers to fund intentional community housing projects like A Better Tent City in Kitchener, On. If you would like to get involved or are interested in seeing our progress please check out our Links! linktr.ee/fatdroptrailers
I wanted to thank you again for building me a Tiny Shelter when I was living in the park. After 3 months of being in a tent, on the ground, it made such a huge difference. It improved my physical mobility and my pain levels. I was able to sleep through the night for the first time. I did not have to go to sleep holding my medication and my cane, terrified that someone would steal them. It was warm, dry and safe. I had somewhere to recuperate and (for the first time), privacy. I had somewhere safe to store the belongings I could not carry with me when I went to the bathroom. It gave me stability, security and a sense of home. You have done far more for me than the City of Toronto ever has. Peace.

There are enough asses on fire to nag the mayor and council for such a decision!

Please, John Tory, this is insane! You need to be helping people survive, not targeting this incredible man for doing what the city is NOT doing. Step up! This man has saved lives!!! Stop punishing him! And focus on helping those in need!

The people of Toronto support you, Khaleel! Your actions have saved countless lives and brought hope to many. Thank you for doing this work and please let the community know if you need help with legal fees. We are here to support you, even if the City of Toronto will not. Thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Thank you for your work, Khaleel. It's an absolute disgrace that the city is willing to urgently take action and spend resources to destroy people's homes, yet they won't show that same level of urgency and investment to save lives.

Wow. If there's anything we can do, let us know. I feel a strong need (as we all) to support you and what you're doing to the poor folks out on the streets in the cold, yet alone in a pandemic. You're a hero
Thank you so much. I hope the City will see that you are working towards the solution to a widespread problem and they need to stop creating problems for you and others and start focusing on the real issues.

This is so wrong - I am so angry. My thanks to you for not only advocating, but doing something in all of this craziness. This is a distraction, and they choose to do nothing, but penalize someone who is helping. This is so cruel. 🤬
Toronto is causing a housing crisis to spill out to the rest of Ontario. I live in Sarnia and I can't count the times I've heard "oh Sarnia's housing market is catching up to Toronto" this is problematic because I have friends and family that were born and raised in Sarnia and none of us can afford an apartment now let alone a house due to the influx of people from Toronto moving away from the city. What you're doing is amazing but as you said it's a temporary fix to a bigger problem. Best of luck in your efforts, hopefully we can get the market under control so people can afford to live in a decent home rather than be priced out of their neighbourhoods.
smhh most cities are on a downfall because those leading it lack empathy and common sense and it's a shame fr. keep fighting though, you got us on your side.

You rock man, greedy politicians trampling the downtrodden, you are the epitome of humanity and act selflessly to better peoples lives .. F these haters and their bylaws designed to control .. Dont stop doing what you do .. this world needs the compassion you display
Thank you for what you have been doing for the homeless. It is shocking, and disgraceful that the city would go so far as to take legal action against someone trying to help those in need.

👏🏾 Real 👏🏾 Life 👏🏾 Superhero 👏🏾 I am close to a number of individuals without permanent shelter and they have made it very clear that these tiny shelters have saved their lives this year. Moreover they felt, through actions and not just words, that someone actually cares about their lives. Khaleel, you are their superhero.
Khaleel, you have huge admiration and support for stepping up - with empathy - building these tiny homes for those in need. It's unconscionable that John Tory has chosen this action against your efforts. We won't forget.

This is ridiculous and the City should be ashamed of themselves. This mans work is soooo needed. The city has failed its most vulnerable residents and he has come to their rescue finding a solution to help them. I honestly don’t know why anyone would oppose this. Not only is it good for the people living in the encampments but surely it is good for the wider community too. I would much rather walk through a park and see a community of cool tiny homes rather than a load of tents. I don’t see the problem!

One day a movie must be made about you, Khaleel. You're a hero and whatever despicable people are fighting you and throwing their money at you have zero support from anyone outside their minuscule base. The world is with you!
You’re a Hero Brother-Man! You are an inspiration. I’m incredibly proud and humbled by your goodness and mercy. God bless you always, Good Samaritan 🙏🏾✊🏾👌🏾🍁
The Lord bless you 🙏🏼! The enemy will always try to destroy truth and Justice. Keep persevering! You’re heart is in the right place and because of it, it’ll expose evil.
May God bless you!!! They always seem to go after the people who deserve the most praise and thanks in this world. As a nurse I can tell you that I go above and beyond but I often get scolded or reprimanded for doing things that are not acceptable. I’m only trying my best for the patients so that they don’t die. Thank you so much for what you’ve done and I’m signing your petition.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
You are a humanitarian and a gift to this city and they are squandering everything you are offering. I’m so disgusted by the treatment you’re receiving. You are the type of person that make this world a good and better place, I fully support you and will do what I can to donated and spread the word. You are loved and supported please keep fighting

I'm so disappointed that you are the scapegoat for an unfortunate accident. What you have been doing is such a valuable contribution to our society and so many people have felt the same way Khaleel which is obvious by your Go Fund Me page (not to mention the people who stay in them). Your original goal was $10,000! If you have to go up against the city please open up your donations again on your page as I have no doubt that people will be behind you in paying for legal fees
Exactly this!! The city was just searching for what they thought was a “valid” reason to shut this whole operation down - it’s downright shameful. Our political representatives are vacationing in the Caribbean whilst simultaneously trying to put a stop to what little support the homeless population has during a winter of COVID. It’s almost comically evil, I don’t know how they sleep at night.

Well spoken. Yeah, it's not ideal but what else are people supposed to do? If the city cared something would have been done already. You made a difference for so many people. Thank you.
True North Hero!! Is there a petition that has been created to support you?! I have been following your journey with the Toronto Tiny Shelters and I just want to take the time to mention that your work and commendable contributions are truly admirable and inspiring. The world needs more people like you 💛

Thank you for all that you are doing Khaleel. The fact that the city is once again attacking your efforts when you have TRIED to partner with them is despicable. And now for them to use our tax-payer money to bring a case against you has me speechless. I hope every single person watching this who lives in toronto writes to their counsellor to tell them this is wrong.
I think what you are doing is wonderful! Brave and MOST Important actually helping people TODAY! Unlike the city, province and the Feds talking about building "85 homes" NEXT YEAR!! Why are we Not building tiny homes anyway? Personally I think we should be building tiny home villages! This kind of village builds community and care for one another. It is not for everyone (families etc) but is perfect for those living alone. These could be a transition while people wait for affordable housing, or even longer term housing! Many people would Love just the opportunity to live in a place where they can be warm, and safe!!

Khaleel, you are indeed a hero with a kind heart. You matter for the community! Best luck with all this shit you're going through. You're doing important work! Thank you so much!
