Got a house? Looking to trade?

A Kelowna woman is on a mission to trade a pinecone for a home in order to give vulnerable people a place to live.

On Jan. 4, Stephanie Horman picked up a pinecone and began her journey of trading up to find a home to donate back to the community.

Horman is currently on trade number six of her journey to find a house to donate. She recently swapped a surfboard valued at $500 for an antique vanity set that includes an ornately decorated tray, brush, handheld mirror and comb.

Before starting the project Horman asked herself, sa国际传媒渨hat do people need the most right now?sa国际传媒�

The answer that she found sa国际传媒� affordable housing. She would prefer that the house was local but is willing to work out an arrangement with anyone across Canada.

She said if you have the privilege, platform and opportunity, you should use it to help others.

sa国际传媒淲hen we come together as a community we are a lot stronger,sa国际传媒� said Horman.

She started the journey by trading the pinecone for a copper bracelet, then swapped it for a big cozy pillow. She then exchanged the pillow for a massive plant, then found someone willing to take the plant in exchange for a jade turtle. For trade five she snagged a surfboard and for trade six, got the vanity set. She doesnsa国际传媒檛 know what the next trade will be but is excited for the future of the project.

This is not Hormansa国际传媒檚 first rodeo in the sa国际传媒渢rade economy.sa国际传媒� She embarked on a similar mission in the past where she also started with a pinecone but limited the trading to a tight two week period. When the two weeks of fast and furious trading ended, Horman had acquired more than $10,000 worth of warm winter socks that were distributed to people in need.

She has plans for future trades in the works but would love to hear suggestions and offers of potential exchanges.
