Hi! I'm Lydia, a junior at the Calhoun School. I'm helping raise funds for Homeward NYC, an organization dedicated to housing homeless young mothers and their children, homeless LGBTQIA young adults, and homeless and low-income seniors. Most have survived family violence or rejection. At each location, they provide housing and support services including counseling, case management for residents to access financial and health care benefits, connections to community resources, group activities, and basic life skills. This year, they launched a new program to provide aftercare services in the critical year after move out from family shelter or supportive housing.

What your gift could make possible:

• $50 can provide a resident’s stipend to lead a workshop for others, fostering leadership and compensating them for their care and organizing work
• $100 can provide one parenting workshop for young mothers led by an expert in early childhood development
• $250 can provide one skills-building workshop led by an expert in pre-employment preparation plus organizational supplies for all participants
• $350 can provide a move-out kit with pots, pans, utensils, cleaning supplies, and personal care items for a young family moving to permanent housing
• $500 can provide one healthy cooking workshop with food and supplies for all participants
• $1,000 can provide one resident a new kitchenette unit with a mini-stove, fridge, sink and cabinet for their Homeward NYC apartment

A donation of any size will help me meet my goal for Homeward NYC!
