Goal
My goal is to not eat sugar for the entire month of April. This means I will not eat ice cream, cookies, candy, pastries, or anything that has any type of sugar listed in the first three ingredients.
If you donate $50 or more, I will make a delicious sugar free dessert for you and a guest of your choice.
If I raise $1000 or more in donations, I will stay off of sugar for the month of May too.
I chose this goal because
If you know me, you know I have a sweet tooth the size of Montana, and I'm pretty sure I'm a chocoholic. I know the amount of sugar I eat isn't good for me, and I want to take some steps to make myself healthier.
I'm helping because
I have been volunteering with At the Crossroads occasionally for the past year or two. The work they are doing is amazing. ATC hits the streets to find the homeless youth no one else is helping and to offer them whatever help they need. Imagine being a young person with no place to stay. How scared would you be, and how much would you wish there was someone there to understand and to help you? ATC is dedicated to doing exactly that, but they need our support to do it. Come on, people - I'm giving up Ben and Jerry's, so make a donation already!
About At The Crossroads
ATC walks the streets of San Francisco, reaching out to homeless youth and young adults on their turf. We work with young people who others have given up on, who would not get help without us. Since we started 13 years ago, we have worked with more than 5,000 youth, helping them build outstanding lives.
