Grateful to all our Art Beast families supporting the wider village of families on this Big Day of Giving! ❤️ Donation links in the comments.
There are so many big days in our village. Births and graduations and first apartments and first jobs. Passing the driving test, making your baby's first birthday cake, saving your first thousand dollars, saving your second. On this Big Day of Giving, YOU join our village of believers that stand behind each youth and child as they journey away from homelessness. ❤ Donation links in the comments.

Big Day of Giving is almost here. Your support ensures that the hundreds of youth and children we serve each year escape homelessness and claim all the joy and possibilities of home and family. ❤️ Early giving is open (links in the comments).
Today was a Key Day. One of our youth had apartment keys dropped into their palm. Tonight they will sleep in their own place for the first time, a bit confounded by the quiet that is not unlike the quiet at the top of a mountain after a long, hard climb. Behind these moments are months of work. Youth work alongside our team and live in our community as they establish income, save, start jobs, continue school, raise babies, build connections, fill out so many applications, and endure far too many rejections from landlords simply for being young.
Each time, our team shares a photo of this moment- the keys glinting in a palm, a youth grinning in an empty living room, a toddler turning that door k**b. We all exclaim and rejoice and 🥳. Key Day is what gets us through the too many hard days in this work.
Tomorrow is a day to give to our village to ensure the 56 families we are housing right now and the hundreds of youth and children we will serve this year will get their Key Day. We will turn your donations into diapers and furniture and homes- and staff to stand shoulder to shoulder with our youth and children through it all.
Giving is open now. Donation links are in the comments. Grateful to all who are part of our village of support. ❤

What does family mean to you? To us, it means showing up. Showing up when we are tired. Showing up when we are frustrated. Showing up in quiet ways. Showing up in loud ways. It means showing up on hard days, hard months, and hard years. We know that for all of us, it has been a long and difficult past couple of years and through it all, we have SEEN our Village show up time and time and time again.
TOMORROW is the Big Day of Giving. We know it’s a lot to ask, but whether it is your first time donating or whether you have been a long time supporter of Waking the Village, we are asking you to show up once again. You can show up by donating $10. You can show up by creating your own fundraiser. You can show up by sharing our page. All we ask is that you try. Any donation, no matter how small, makes a massive difference in the lives of youth and young adults experiencing homelessness in Sacramento.
Tomorrow, we ask that you do all you can to show up for our Village. We see you, we appreciate you, and we love you. Every dollar raised during the Big Day of Giving goes to ensure the children and youth of Waking the Village are housed and supported in every way as they chase big dreams and lasting stability.
Spread the word and shake the dust. Let’s go, Village! You can give at our Big DOG page: https://www.bigdayofgiving.org/organization/wakingthevillage
