I have been working with DPC for a little over a year. I love all that they do for the community. Personally, I have a passion to help at-risk Black youth through my work with Wayne State University. Through working with DPC, I have been able to connect more with youth in the community and have made a greater impact on individual lives. I want to support DPC in any way that I can to maximize their efforts.
Additionally, I have a personal connection to the cause of this fundraiser. I grew up without a stable environment and have seen the lasting impact that takes on my life. I have seen how it impacts the lives of others. I want to stand in solidarity with our youth and show my commitment to equity and justice.

We are launching our One Night Without A Bed campaign on December 1st with a live-streamed event on Facebook and challenging people to give up their beds for One Night in December in solidarity with the 4.2 million young people around the world who experience homelessness each year. The fundraising campaign will end on December 31st.
Our goal is to raise awareness on the youth homelessness crisis and raise funds so that we may continue to provide young people with critical resources, safety, and support during a time where our services are needed now more than ever.
Participants can sleep in a tent, a car, the couch—anywhere but a bed. Make themselves uncomfortable for One Night, challenge their friends to do the same, and spread the word so that a young person can have a warm place to sleep at night and access to the resources that they need to live out their full potential.
Our virtual sleepout cannot compare to the grim realities that youth experiencing homelessness face every day. This is not a simulation— it is a call to action. This is about basic human rights, accountability, and service. Together, we can send a message to these young people — who have so often been ignored — that we care and continue to be committed to equity and justice.
