Supporting homeless youth by sleeping out

As we approach the holiday season this year and begin to think about the year that has almost gone by; let’s not forget that there are kids who don’t have what we take for granted – a roof over our head.

On Thursday, November 21st, I will be sleeping out along with a few other Cisco brothers and sisters to support Covenant House Sleep Out movement, so that homeless kids don’t have to.

This isn’t about pretending to be homeless. It’s an act of solidarity and a demonstration to homeless youth that we care - showing them that we will not stay indoors while so many kids remain outside.

One night can make a difference and I am counting on your support. As part of my Sleep Out, I’m raising funds and awareness for Covenant House, an organization that provides shelter, safety, and support to homeless and trafficked youth.

The money we raise is put to work immediately, helping keep the lights on and the doors open for every young person who seeks help this year

I’ve set an ambitious fundraising goal, and I can’t reach it without you. Please consider supporting my efforts by making a donation to my Sleep Out. https://www.sleepout.org/participant/RajChacko
