Your tax-deductible gift provides children and youth facing homelessness with the support they need to stay focused on school during difficult times.  Trained volunteers serve as a personal tutor for hundreds of students like Sulexy.  Mentors help high school students navigate post-secondary educational plans and see them through college or vocational training.  Children facing homelessness throughout the Commonwealth receive new backpacks and customized, grade-level books and school supplies. 

Last year alone we paired more than 250 students in grades K - 12 with a personal tutor, supported 56 college students and provided more than 4,500 students with customized backpacks and supplies.

Educate kids.  End Homelessness. 

"I need to help with this problem."

Maya Cohen learned about homelessness in a social studies class at Sharon Middle School.  The thought of peers facing homelessness struck a chord and she wanted to help. In lieu of gifts for her upcoming Bat Mitzvah, Maya asked for donations or school supplies.  She asked the local Office Depot if she could host a table outside their building to promote her cause.   Maya raised more than $1,000, collected $850 worth of backpacks and supplies - and recently visited our office to count, sort and inventory her collection.  When asked what motivated her, Maya responded with profound simplicity, "I need to help with this problem." 

Thanks to Maya and our community of tutors, mentors, donors and new generation of "Kids Helping Kids," we're changing the tide of homelessness.  One child at a time.
