Valentine: 'I felt vulnerable and alone'

Related Topics: Covenant House

First of all, I want to thank everybody for all the support I’ve received this past month on my journey with Covenant House. There have been many generous donations and lots of moral support.

On Thursday night, I completed a couple of firsts in my life: sleeping outside and sleeping in a sleeping bag as part of the annual Covenant House Sleep Out. I knew it was going to be tough physically and mentally. And I was right.

The night started with registration and some mingling with some 60 plus people – some who were first-timers like me and some who had come back to support this great cause once again.
