In a world where one’s achievements often measure personal success, some individuals choose to use their wealth to make a difference in the lives of others, such as the “12 Neighbours” Project. Marcel LeBrun, a Canadian businessman with a philanthropic heart, is a prime example of this benevolent spirit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
After selling his successful business for an impressive eight figures, LeBrun could have easily retired to a life of luxury. Instead, he decided to use his wealth to make a tangible difference in the lives of those less fortunate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to CBC, Fredericton, New Brunswick, had approximately 1,600 homeless <\/a>people over the past year. LeBrun, the founder of “12 Neighbours,” did not simply express his concerns about the issue; he took action. He spent CN$4 million to construct a community of 99 tiny homes and an enterprise center to provide a real second chance for homeless people in Fredericton. <\/p>\n\n\n\n “I see myself as a community builder, and really what we’re doing here is not just building a little community, but a community in a city, like how do we help our city be better?” He said to the CBC. <\/p>\n\n\n
