Arizona’s homeless shelters are bursting at the seams and overflowing into tent cities around the shelters. Many homeless children sleep in cars or tents, crowding in with the rest of their family and barraged by sounds of the city streets all around them. Then, if they can get there in time, they stand in line at a shelter to shower, or eat a hot meal. Thanksgiving would have been a really difficult day, hoping they could make it to where shelters were serving a hot meal. With little sleep, limited food, and the images of the despairing homeless all around them, how do we expect Arizona’s most vulnerable children to do well at school?
They suffer from anxiety disorders, depression, suicidal ideation, and lost learning opportunities unless people like us intervene.
TWO DAYS FROM NOW…. Let’s break through depression, anxiety, suicide, and lost opportunities for Arizona’s homeless and impoverished children!
On Tuesday November 30th, our #RadicalGenerosity movement for #GivingTuesday will provide the mental health care to help these vulnerable children transform fear and pain into strength that builds hope.
