Sleep Out America

By: Julie Graham
On Friday, November 22nd, we got together to hangout and sleep outside to raise money and awareness for children who are homeless.
We watched some videos to learn about kids who are homeless throughout the U.S., played games, made s’mores outside, and had a lot of fun.
A few of us got together and made three no-sew blankets.
While making the blankets, I remembered that there are people who have it much worse than I and I need to feel grateful for what I have.
This made me want to do more to help homeless children in our city.
This night was a great blessing to me because it made me think about someone other than myself. (Note: We raised $580 for Covenant House, and collected items to donate to our local youth who are homeless)
