I’m thrilled to be participating in Coldest Day of the Year Walk, a fundraiser supporting Family Promise Rochester!

Family homelessness is urgent, local, and growing—and yet it is often hidden from view. When we walk on one of the coldest days of the year, we shine a light on this invisible crisis and stand with families working hard to find stability.

Family Homelessness in Our Community

• 1 in 19 U.S. children will experience homelessness by age six.
• 35% of Minnesotans experiencing homelessness are families with children.
• 886+ children in Olmsted County are experiencing homelessness right now.

Families facing homelessness are often sleeping in cars, motels, doubled-up situations, or rotating between temporary places. They carry the weight of constant uncertainty—especially parents trying to keep children safe, warm, and in school.

I’m passionate about this cause and need your help! Every donation—big or small—helps me reach my fundraising goal and directly impacts this important cause.

Here's how you can help:

• Donate: Contribute whatever you can. No amount is too small!
• Spread the Word: Share my fundraising page with your friends, family, and social networks. Let’s spread awareness so we can raise more!

Thank you for standing by me in this effort. Your support means the world to me!
