Story
Because who doesn’t like making wellness accessible, and life change possible?
Help us restore hope and change lives with dignity by donating to our work.
Why?
Men consistently make up 70% of all people experiencing homelessness decade over decade. Men also lose their life to suicide 3.9x that of women.
It's estimated that less than 25% of social services help young men after the age of 21. In a culture where misguided masculinity reigns supreme —men after the age of 18 are left by the wayside. Men need help too.
What do the funds go to?
Well.. take your pick.
$35 = 1x year of meditation & mindfulness app access 🧘
$50 = Biweekly therapy for one month 🧠🤍
$75 = 1x unlimited transit pass 🚈🚍
$100 = Interview attire outfit 👔 👞
$200 = All move-out costs for a graduate 🚛 📦
$312 = Hero level. Your name goes on your fundracers jersey. Covers the equivalent of a chrome book 💻
$1,000 = You're just a straight up bad a** 🍑 🥊
$5,000 = Legend level. Cover all costs to get one resident housed, fed, resourced and employed (the toughest 1/3 of the journey to graduation) 🏆 ✨

Our Unique Approach
Studies show that housing is the starting block. We provide dignified housing, coaching, and envelop residents in an culture of mutual self-betterment. We take a holistic approach to wellness, and instill the inspiration to heal and grow. We don't do case management or programs. We do relationship management during residency. The Co provides financial advisors at every paycheck, custom life-coaching, therapy, personal training and nutrition—just to name a few.
How?
Do something less than 1% of the world has ever done. To run a marathon and raise money for one of the most effective disrupters of homelessness in the city of Chicago. Our goal of $100K will remove all financial barriers to house and resource 14 young men out of homelessness into "collectively self-sustainable" futures.
