IMO we can easily do this! Just donated although it wasn't a lot since I just lost my job. But I still have a roof over my head and food to eat. Think about these kids who don't and will turn to crime/drugs just so they can stay alive. Come on guys...any amount will help, no matter how big or small!
I'll ride the wave where it takes me...

"Need an incentive to give, there, Grinchy? Our lovely neighbors to the north are here to light a polite fire under your ass. Canada, aka America’s Hat™, has donated a weekend getaway for two in beautiful Victoria, BC, including round-trip transportation from Port Townsend on the scenic Coho Ferry (with your friend and your car), a two-night stay at the historic and awesome Fairmont Empress Hotel, and two passes to the Victoria Butterfly Gardens (sounds festive!). Thanks, Canada! We will totally take Rob Ford off your hands—he belongs down here, anyway.
How do you win the fabulous Canadian getaway? Just donate by noon on Friday, December 20 (any amount counts!), then forward your receipt to us and tell us in 100 words or less why Canada and butterflies are the greatest. The best reason wins! The winner will be announced Friday afternoon on Slog."
We are thrilled to announce that thanks to the generosity of donors like you, twenty young adults will have access to safe shelter each night in 2014, where they can not only rest for a few hours, but also connect with caring adults. Our staff work with youth in shelter to set goals for housing, education, and employment, and connect them to YouthCare programs that will help them meet these goals.
Thank you to all who helped make this possible! Learn more or make a gift to support these critical services.
