Why Cadence Pinkburn is Sleeping Outside
I am spending a night outdoors to raise awareness about youth homelessness and to help raise funds for initiatives that provide essential resources to vulnerable young people. My team and I feel closely connected to the term "street-entrenched," and we recognize that this experience offers just a small insight into the reality of sleeping outside or living without adequate support. We are committed to advocating for youth who face challenges like anxiety, depression, loneliness, unsafe homes, addiction, eating disorders, abuse, neglect, sexual exploitation, bullying, suicidal thoughts, rejection, and hopelessness. Our goal is to make a difference, even if it means helping just one person.
