Why Sasha Snair is Sleeping Outside

I’m sleeping outside to help fight and prevent youth homelessness. In April, the homeless count* found that there were nearly 700 youth (age 13-24) homeless in Metro Vancouver. Hundreds to thousands more experience episodic homelessness and are considered precariously or inappropriately housed. According to Raise the Roof**, over 35,000 youth experience homelessness throughout the year in Canada. Family conflict, addiction and mental health issues were cited as the biggest reasons individuals found themselves homeless. By making a donation to me, you are continuing Youth Unlimited’s active and prevention work with homeless and vulnerable youth, providing tangible help, caring support and a way out. I’m giving up one night, so these youth can have a lifetime. Please support me by donating generously! *https://vancouversun.com/news/local-news/at-least-681-youths-are-homeless-according-to-metro-vancouver-count *https://www.raisingtheroof.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/road2sols-FINAL.pdf
YUnite 2023 is now over. Thank you for another incredible, life-changing year in support of our youth! Stay tuned for YUnite 2024.
