The best-selling Canadian author started a GoFundMe for an Indigenous carver who suffered a house fire.
Controversial Canadian psychologist and best-selling author Jordan Peterson has launched a GoFundMe to help a man in Williams Lake whose house burned down.
Joseph is renowned for making masks, totem poles, canoes and other carvings including a 55-foot pole that now resides at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. Joseph and his children are currently camped out in a motel and he has no way to continue working on his art. In the campaign, he explains he met Joseph about 20 years ago in Comox, on Vancouver Island when he bought a few pieces of his work.
“We've talked a fair bit over the last few months about Frankie's death, its impact on the children, and the sequelae for Charles. It's been a brutal time for his family. I was therefore shocked to hear the additional bad news from him a few days ago,” said Peterson.
