People experiencing homelessness in Washington, D.C. are having an even tougher time than normal right now.

Charlie's Place - the drop-in center that my eldest son and I volunteer with - needs support to keep safely providing meals and basic provisions to members of our community that don't have permanent housing. I'm undertaking a 20km/12.4 mile swim to raise awareness and donations of time and/or money.

$100 = 1 week of underwear and socks

$500 = 1 month of kitchen staples

$1000 = 1 month of meat, cleaning supplies, paper goods & bottled water

Or sign up to volunteer your time.

I hope to complete the swim in 6 hours on Sunday Sept. 14. If I manage to set up live-tracking I will post it here.

Thank you so much, Bec.

P.S. I'll cover the GoFundMe fees so every dollar you donate goes direct to Charlie's Place.
