Dear friend,

Gabe's Red Balloon Foundation was established to help mitigate the growing trend of gun violence in Toronto. We help young people in dire circumstances find alternatives to a life of poverty and violence. We are an independent charity supported by people like you. If you chip in the equivalent of a cup of coffee once a month, you will be helping us make this city safer and more liveable.
