Happy Monday, all!
I need to express HUGE thanks to each and every one of you and the contributions you made to make the SleepOut a success!
We raised $1948 to donate towards Waypoint's cause of supporting homeless youth to build stable and healthy lives.
AMAZING. Our largest donation, of $600, was made by one of our teenage participants, Addysin Sargent- what a beautiful example of a teenager supporting her homeless peers.
Our teens were also able to sort and package boxes and boxes of hygiene products, bug spray, sunscreen etc.
INCREDIBLE.
A special thanks to our brave crew of 13 teenagers and their parents, our adult chaperones (truly this event could not have happened without your Christian witness and sacrifice), the Outreach Team for our soup supper and knitting guidance, especially Dianne Zdankiewicz and Carol Lott, the Knights of Columbus for our hearty breakfast, especially Greg Capiello and Tony Violanti, and to Fr. Mike and rest of the staff for encouraging and supporting our efforts.
In peace, love, and SO MUCH gratitude,
Hollis
