00:00 Sleep pods are these tents that are specially designed to protect people from extreme temperatures.

00:05 So the Sleep Pod, which is a company, they're going to be donating us 40 of these tents,

00:11 which are insulated, are going to keep people safe from these absolutely horrible conditions that we're going through outside.

00:18 So we're going to go out, we're going to give these tents to people who are sleeping on the streets,

00:23 and that will help keep them safe while we're doing the work to bring them inside and give them somewhere more permanent to live.

00:32 Sleep pods are fantastic and we're so grateful that we're going to be receiving them.

00:36 I mean, it was down to minus three last night and I can't imagine what it's like to be outside in that,

00:44 and I'm not sure that many people can, it is so dangerous.

00:49 And it's just so important to get help to anyone who's outside right now and the Sleep Pods are going to be a real help.
