Why I care
I'm running the Twin Cities Marathon in partnership with Wildflyer Coffee and their mission to support youth experiencing homelessness in the Metro Area through gainful employment in their organization. By donating to Wildflyer, you're supporting an organization built on a foundation of compassion & care in their goal of serving, building, and growing the future of these individuals.
As someone who works directly in the field of supporting people in housing stability, I saw this opportunity to assist Wildflyer as a no brainer. Through love and care for others in our communities, we can be the difference in their world.
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!
