I've happily called Canada home for my whole life, and I've always wanted to find a way to give back. Now that I have a community and a platform with my YouTube channel, working with the Canadian Red Cross has given me the ability to bring people together from around the world, to support those in crisis both at home and abroad – all while doing what I love.
