Without you and others like you who believe in our mission, Step Onward Foundation would not be able to work towards breaking the cycle of homelessness for vulnerable children with illness and at risk adults.
Without you, we wouldn’t have been able to support a record number of families in 2023 and so far in 2024 who are at risk of being unhoused while their child is battling possibly terminal, complex medical conditions.
Without you, we wouldn’t be able to help students like Alyssa, who shared this about what you made possible for her:

Without you, there is no us.
Our deepest thanks go out to each and every person who came out to our Homemade Happiness Gala in March. And to all of those who supported the event who could not be there in person that night—you were with us in spirit.
Together, we raised $202,000 to help make sure our neighbors and community members have a safe and stable place to call home.
As our Co-founder Patrice Pike said in her speech (here), Step Onward Foundation is giving families and at- risk adults a fighting chance. And we couldn’t do it without you.
