My husband, Tim, and I are honored to serve as Co-Chairs for the Mary’s Place No Child Sleeps Outside<\/a> campaign this year because we truly believe that every child deserves the safety, comfort, and dignity of a warm bed\u2014and that together we can make that a reality.<\/p>\n

Tonight, hundreds of families in our community will go to sleep in cars, tents, or outside. Thousands more are at risk of losing their homes. These are not strangers\u2014they are our neighbors and co-workers.<\/p>\n

Mary’s Place is a lifeline. Last year, they provided emergency shelter, mobile outreach, and prevention services to more than 1,700 families, including nearly 3,200 children. They helped 1,128 families move into or stay in stable housing. But the need is growing, and they cannot do it alone. Each day, 50-60 families call the intake line asking for help Mary\u2019s Place is only able to provide safe shelter and a warm bed to just one or two.<\/p>\n

This is where Seattle\u2019s Child readers come in. Any gift\u2014no matter the size\u2014directly provides safe shelter, hot meals, and critical services families need to move from crisis to stability.<\/p>\n
