Help Michael raise money

Welcome to my Falmouth Road Race Fundraising Page and thank you for visiting!

This year I will be running the Falmouth Road Race to raise money for Heading Home.  Heading Home is an organization that is dear to my heart and that I have been involved with for over 12 years.  For the past two years, I have been a Co-Chair of the Junior Board and have had the privilege to see up close and personal all the great work that they do to support Boston's homeless community.

For those that are not familiar with Heading Home, Heading Home is one of Boston's leading providers of emergency shelter, transitional, and permanent housing for extremely low-income families and individuals currently or formerly experiencing homelessness. Their housing-plus-services approach sets clients on a pathway to self-sufficiency.

Safe, reliable housing means more to their clients than just having a home. It is the foundation allowing them to thrive and lead happy and productive lives.

While homelessness can be invisible, it is the epicenter of their clients’ lives. Loss of a job or illness can quickly force people into homelessness. Trauma experience is often part of their clients’ lives, contributing to their instability and homelessness.

Heading Home provides emergency shelter, transitional housing, permanent housing, and supportive services to homeless and formerly homeless families and individuals in Boston, Cambridge, Chelsea, Everett, Malden, Medford, Quincy, Revere, and Somerville. Their supportive services alongside housing help clients create futures without homelessness.

Heading Home emphasizes permanent housing attainment and retention because success is most achievable within a permanent home. Research shows that providing housing alongside supportive services is much more effective than just providing one or the other.

All donations are greatly appreciated and no donation is too small to make an impact in one of Heading Home's clients' lives.  Thank you for considering making a contribution to my fundraising goal!
