Why I care
This October, I’ll be running 26.2 miles (my first full marathon) to reach a personal goal and fundraise for Wildflyer Coffee, a nonprofit coffee company that provides employment and life skills help to youth experiencing homelessness in the Twin Cities.
Every donation, large or small, makes a difference in the lives of youth trying to escape homelessness. Thank you for helping me reach my fundraising goal!
Description
Wildflyer Coffee is a coffee company that hires and trains youth experiencing homelessness throughout the Twin Cities, giving them the tools and skills they need to leave homelessness, achieve self-sufficiency and build the future they deserve.
Every day, there are approximately 7,500 youth ages 16-24 in Minnesota that experience homelessness. These are people's sons or daughters, siblings, and friends, who are not only fighting to fit in with their peers but trying to find basic needs like food and shelter. The likelihood is high that these vulnerable youth will experience untreated mental health disorders, struggle with substance use, engage in survival sex or trafficking, become victims of violent crime or complete suicide.
This fall, I'm running the Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon/10 Mile race to raise money for Wildflyer Coffee. Your donation will help provide youth experiencing homelessness with paid employment, housing assistance, mental health referrals, skills coaching, education help, and future career planning. Thank you for joining me to end youth homelessness!
