Rhea’s Celebration of Youth Campaign

Friends of Youth is a lifeline for youth experiencing homelessness, mental health challenges, and those in the foster care system—especially now, with federal and state funding cuts looming. I’ve set a goal to raise $15,000 by May 9th through our Celebration of Youth campaign, and I need your help. Whether I’ve made you laugh, helped you out, or you’ve ever offered to buy me a coffee or lunch—this is your moment to return the favor. ? ? No amount is too small. Every dollar brings us closer to safety, stability, and support for young people who need it most. ✨ Can’t attend one of our events? That’s okay—you can still donate or share this page. It matters more than you know.
