I am participating to bring awareness of the homeless population here in Evansville and hopefully help them get some type of funding for more housing and resources. I have experienced homelessness myself in the past. It truly pulls my heartstrings to see so many people with no place to go; and my workplace (Southwestern Behavioral Health) is not able to help them with shelter while they search to obtain long term housing.

Aurora is a nonprofit organization dedicated to serving the homeless and near homeless in the Greater Evansville, IN area. Each year, it serves over 400 individuals: men, women, children and seniors.

48 Hours in the Life: The Homeless Experience Project is an Aurora event which aims to raise awareness towards the struggles individuals face when experiencing homelessness. This project is also a fundraiser for all of the programs that Aurora offers to help the men, women, children, and seniors who experience homelessness in our community. During this event, individuals from our community will give up their everyday lives and spend 48 hours on the streets and in shelters.

If you'd like to support Aurora, please donate to my fundraising page!
