This is my first year as board president and I am very excited to participate in this Sleep Out event. I believe deeply in Attention Homes and the effort and care they provide to these youth. It's an honor for me to lose one night of sleep to raise the issue of youth homelessness to the community at large.

I am increasingly in awe of the care and hard work that goes into providing the comprehensive care and safe shelter these at-risk and homeless youth need. By sleeping out on November 15, I hope to raise the issue of youth homelessness, and financial support necessary to provide these services, to the citizens of Boulder County.

As the mother of two teenagers Attention Homes is near and dear to my heart. It's so important that this caring and effective organization is there for every kid who may be struggling; who may have the odds stacked against them; who may need a helping hand.
Katie Green
Runaway & Homeless Youth Program Manager
Attention Homes
Every day I see the good, the bad and the truly horrifying environment these homeless kids are living in. When they come to our shelter we provide them several things--safety, food, showers--and the opportunity to know that Attention Homes cares about them and wants them to have a better life. I'm sleeping out for these kids.

Rachel Overton
Adolescent Residential Care
Attention Homes
I told some friends I was sleeping out to raise awarenes of youth homelessness. Their response was "It'll be just like camping!" Unfortunately, they have no idea that sleeping in a sleeping bag (if you're lucky enough to have one) on the streets of Boulder is nothing like sleeping in a sleeping bag while camping. I hope to raise lots of awareness and money for the Runaway & Homeless Youth program at Attention Homes.

Your donation to Attention Homes means a roof, a bed, a shower, a hot meal, to a homeless youth, but it also means they have people in their lives looking out for them, wondering if they're ok, a chance to stay in school and make it to graduation, a place to rest the night before the GED test, an opportunity to save up for their own apartment.
Jim Rianoshek
Executive Director
Attention Homes
I have been working with homeless and at-risk youth for almost a decade now and I am honored to participate in this Sleep Out event.
