Sleep Out helps ensure that youth facing homelessness can sleep safely and dream big at Covenant House, a shelter service for homeless youth.
While I was not homeless as a teen, I was as a young child living with my birth family. I know what it is like to be homeless, and I know how vital services are to supporting homeless people, especially young people who are one of our most vulnerable populations.
Without Covenant House, many young homeless people would not have the support or resources they need to rise out of their situations and thrive as successful adults. That is why I am raising funds and giving up my bed for one night on November 21st, standing in solidarity with homeless youth. Money raised with go directly to Covenant House and put towards their mission of providing resources and support to homeless youth.
Covenant House is more than just a shelter. Young people are welcomed with unconditional love and provided warm meals, education opportunities, job training, medical care, mental health and substance use counseling, and legal aid — essential services designed to help them build independent futures.
You can be part of the solution for youth overcoming homelessness by making a donation to my Sleep Out.
For now, my fundraising goal is $250, but if I get a lot of support, I will up the goal to $500. So far, there are incentives for donating 5 dollars and 10 dollars. Every 5 dollar donation gets you social media shout outs on the platforms of your choice, and every 10 dollar donation gets you a personalized poem on the subject of your choice. I am still trying to think of incentives for larger donations and am taking suggestions.
None of the money goes to me, it all goes directly to Covenant House and from there goes directly into services and resources for homeless youth.
I understand money is tight for a lot of people right now, but if you can donate anything or share my fundraiser with others, I would greatly appreciate it.

These are the donors incentives so far.
