Story
I am proud to not only be a supporter of Youth in Need, but to also work daily in our Street Outreach Program. We do incredible work in the Greater St. Louis area to help end youth homelessness through Crisis Intervention, Housing Navigation, and Case Management services. Currently, there are HUNDREDS of youth (ages 16-24) in the Greater St. Louis area facing homelessness. I'm sleeping out to put myself in the shoes of many of my personal clients who sleep outside with no choice of where they can go. My target fundraising goal is $208, in honor of the 208 youth who are currently homeless on the community housing prioritization list! Even if my goal has been reached, I hope to surpass this number for the sake of our youth. Through this Sleep Out campaign, we will help provide the monetary resources for necessary assistance for them to find safety, hope, and support in life. Together, we can make a real difference and make a step towards ending youth homelessness. Thanks for any support you can give!
