The Purpose:

As a kid, I always had a fear of homeless youth, thinking stereotypes such as "They did this to themselves," or "They are homeless because they are lazy." Growing up, I now realize that these stereotypes couldn’t be further from the truth. I want to not only fundraise money for youth homelessness, but also clear the stigma around this topic. I want to educate the community and change how they think, so we can finally give them the help they need.
