Good luck Kevin! I wish we could donate more, but my husband is facing a possible layoff, and things are very tight. P.S. I can soooooo relate to committing oneself to many ventures, and being stretched thin. I hope you find some balance soon.

Great idea, Kevin! You do so much for so many in any case that you deserve quiet time at home.

I am kicking in more cash to be the winner. I am having a baby in 25 days and will need a vegan dinner when i get home. Plus, I can't resist helping my peeps. I went from homeless to homeowner so i need to give back.

Goal

I am going to turn off my cell phone at night when I get home, and spend time with my wife Nicole and new daughter Kaitlin Rose. Who ever makes the single largest donation to ATC on my behalf will get a prize: I will come to your house and cook you a vegan feast, and we can catch up.

I chose this goal because

As many of you know, I am a bit driven. I have given too many people full access to me at all times and it is taking a toll on my personal relationships, and my stress level is too high. It has been pointed out to me that I spend too much time on the phone and working. This has to stop and now is the time.

I'm helping because

I love ATC, and they helped me in my time of greatest need. There simply is not an organization out there that gives more unconditionally to it's clients.

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.

Karen is now in the #1 slot for the dinner. I am a bit concerned considering her amazing gourmet food experience.

I just realized that I am going to owe a lot of my friends a dinner if everyone donates the same amount.
