This year I am committing to running 13.1 miles on my birthday for CHRIS 180 - an organization that is lifting up one of our most vulnerable populations, homeless youth. My goal is to raise $1,300 which will provide one month's rent plus holiday gifts for a youth in need in Atlanta. 2020 has been a struggle for so many, let's help to alleviate a small portion of this hardship for one individual by providing stable housing and gifts this holiday season.
To give more of an idea of what specific dollar amounts are capable of offering:
- $25 – Provides a new set of holiday pajamas for a child in our group homes
- $50 – Provides an age-appropriate gift for a child in our programs
- $100 -- Provides wrapping paper, gift bags, ribbon, tissue and other materials to wrap gifts for families in our programs
- $150 – Provides a gift card for a young adult in our Summit Trail apartments
- $250 -- Provides new clothing for a child in our group homes
- $300 – Provides personalized holiday gifts for one child living in a group home
- $500 -- Provides a holiday meal for 48 children living in our group homes
- $900 – Provides holiday gifts for three youth in our programs
- $1,000 – Provides the gift of stable housing for the holidays by offering security deposit and first month’s rent
- $1,200 – Provides holiday gifts for a family of four in our programs
- $2,500 – Provides holiday gifts for all youth in one of our group homes
