Dear Friends
Your generous donation to Covenant House played an important role in raising $337,443 for our executive sleepout on the hard concrete of that east side back lane on Nov 21 2013. It will fund the wrap around programs for 24 hours of love and support for 54 homeless youth. It was freezing and we didn’t sleep much with beeping backup trucks and lights etc. Can’t imagine how they think straight with back-to-back bad nights like that, and we had it easy. We don’t get to choose our formative early childhood experiences. If you or I experienced the neglect and abuse that they have, our lives would look different today.

Thank you for your heartening donation and for encouraging me to keep supporting programs that help kids to recover, make changes and step into being their best.
