Jasper G.: Sleep Out!

Jasper G. is sleeping out for the fifth year in a row, joining his mother, sister, and hundreds of other sleepers nationwide. 
Hi everyone, 

I am reaching out because I need your help. I am participating in Covenant House’s Sleep Out to raise funds and awareness for homeless youth who are just a little older than me. 

I choose to “Sleep Out” and give up my bed for the night because it's simply NOT OK that over 50% of young people age out
of foster care only to find themselves homeless within 6 months! 

Will you make a donation to support me and my team raise funds for the many homeless and the trafficked youth who call
Covenant House their home? 

Volunteer Information:
 
  • My personal Sleep Out page is: https://www.sleepout.org/participant/33602
