Your Impact: Turning Miles into Milestones
When you participate, you aren’t just finishing a race—you’re helping neighbors in Detroit, Hamtramck, and Highland Park cross the finish line into stable housing.
Housing is the first step, but stability is the journey: Your contribution ensures no one has to walk that path alone. Funds raised provide more than just a roof; they provide the foundation for a fresh start. Your support directly funds:
- Essential Documentation: Obtaining IDs, Social Security cards, and birth certificates.
- Move-in Costs: Covering fees and deposits that often stand in the way of a new home.
- Home & Life Essentials
- Household Necessities: Providing items to turn a house into a home.
- Daily Support: Funding transportation passes and school supplies.
- Long-Term Stability: Wraparound Services: We provide counseling and support services to ensure lasting independence.
