Youth homelessness is a significant issue in BC, one I hope to raise awareness about by participating in a sleepout. By giving up my comfort for one night, I will experience a fraction of what youth on the street go through every night, in hopes of raising awareness about an issue that is deeply impacting members of our community. While I will be giving up my bed for the night by choice, there are so many teenagers who don't get to choose, and that needs to be talked about more. It is a privilege to be able to go to a safe, warm, and dry place to sleep, a privilege that so many people do not have. Covenant House helps so many people in the community overcome homelessness, and your support allows them to help more people.
