These past few months have not been an easy time for Covenant House. I ve been praying to God a little extra for a miracle to help our kids. And, I think this special challenge gift is His answer. God knows we need a little extra help right now. And to make matters worse, this is all happening in the middle of the winter.
Winter is our toughest time around here.
And it s so hard keeping a warm roof over their heads right now. Then there s the matter of feeding kids this time of year. A homeless kid can burn up hundreds of calories a day just standing outside in the cold. The winter has an enormous impact on our warm weather Covenant Houses as well. You see, many kids escape to warm weather states.
