She couch surfed. She was on the streets. And her support system wasn't provided by any sort of government agency. She survived because of the help she received from other people on the street. 'The only thing that got me through this is the fact that I had a community of homeless people who helped me from being too cold when it was cold out, from being too hot when it was hot out,' Chalifoux told a gathering of about 200 people Thursday. Mayor Amarjeet Sohi and NDP MLAs David Shepherd and Janis Irwin were there to hear her words and remember the hundreds of homeless Edmontonians who died over the past year.
