Spectrum Kulala Nje

We don't ask participants to pretend to be homeless. Instead, we as them to sleep out in solidarity with young people who are. People who particpate often comment on how powerful it is to realize that the experience - of the cold, the lights, the noise, the hard ground - is only a very small taste of what it is like to not just have to live outside, but also go to your job or school on little sleep, with no warm showers, clean clothes, or a full stomach.

In addition, the Sleep Out is a fundraiser. Federal and state funding only cover 30% of the cost for Spectrum's housing and drop-in centers. The other 70% comes from individuals like you fundraising and donating to make sure our doors are open for the next youth who needs help. The Sleep Out is key to making sure young people are housed.

Lastly, when the youth who live with us see folks sleeping outside during the Sleep Out, they are often surprised and moved that people care enough to do this for them. One person wrote to us: "I hope that you get a ton of support through this Sleep Out. As one who has been there, the fact that people are willing to show support to these homeless teens gives them Hope. Someone cares! About them! When you are homeless you do not think that anybody ever even thinks about you, not for one second."

As one youth put it: "Thank you for sleeping out so that I don't have to."

Ni rahisi! Jiandikishe mwenyewe au timu yako na uanze kuuliza marafiki na familia kuchangia kwa ukurasa wako. Kuchangisha pesa kunaweza kutokea wakati wowote, ingawa tunakuhimiza uanze mapema.

Burlington & St. Albans: Utawasili karibu 9:30pm kwa programu yetu fupi na karibu. Kisha tutachukua picha, na kuelekea kitandani! Watu wengi hunyakua kahawa na vitafunio kwa barabara ifikapo 7am.

Tunatoa eneo lenye hema (hakuna kuta za kando) na kifuniko cha chini na masanduku ya kadibodi, na usalama kwa Ngurumo ya Chokoleti. Tuna maji ya moto na vyoo vinavyopatikana na wafanyikazi wa usiku kucha na watu wa kujitolea kukusaidia.

Nyakati za Kulala za Wanafunzi: Kila shule au shirika hufanya hivyo kwa njia tofauti kidogo. Wengi huanza mapema jioni, na huenda wakajumuisha shughuli au mkusanyiko. Tazama Zana yetu ya Kulala Nje ya Mwanafunzi kwa maelezo zaidi na mapendekezo.

Tunaomba juhudi zako bora zaidi kuleta mabadiliko kwa vijana na vijana katika jumuiya yetu. Ikiwa hutafanya lengo lako, tunataka uendelee Kulala Nje!
