Why Mattias Ekkert is Sleeping Outside

As someone who works with high school students, I see firsthand the challenges and stressors that affect teenagers on a day-to-day basis. I can't imagine how difficult it must be having to face what teenagers have to deal with today without a supportive community and a safe place to call home. For this reason, I am happy to choose to give up one night of comfortable sleep year after year in the hopes that it might make a difference in the life of a youth who doesn't have that choice.
