WHY I WALK
I'm participating in the 2025 Winter Walk because I believe that stable housing and access to key resources are the foundations every child needs to thrive. And I also know that even before the global humanitarian crisis, family homelessness hit an all-time high.
Did you know that...
• Massachusetts has the second-highest cost of living of all states.
• Boston has the eighth-highest cost of living in the country.
• Boston’s childhood poverty rate is the fourth highest in the nation.
• Massachusetts has the third-highest number of homeless children in the U.S.
• MetroWest has the highest number of homeless children and parents of all suburban areas in the nation.
• Boston has America’s fourth-highest number of homeless children and parents in the country.
• More than 10,000 Greater Boston children and parents are now living in cars and motels, doubled-up in overcrowded apartments or seeking shelter in emergency rooms.
Please learn more about the Winter Walk and FamilyAid and consider donating to my efforts.
Thanks!
