Please help me support COTS' mission to end homelessness by making a donation to my COTS Walk. 

My father endured homelessness in Vermont for many years.  He was a typical dad with a family, a good job, a home, and two dogs.  He liked to make his kids laugh and instilled in us the importance of kindness and family.  But, when depression took hold, the life he had built began to unravel until he found himself with no place to sleep at night.  COTS gave him a leg up; set him on the path to finding his own place and guided him to the resources he needed to regain his independence and health.  Without COTS he may not have survived another winter outside.  COTS gave us another 10 years with my father; ten years of stories, ten years of dad-jokes, and kept him with us long enough so he could hold his grandchildren. 

Thank you for your support and please don't forget to share this fundraiser with any friends you think might be interested in donating.

This year the COTS Walk is on Sunday, May 7, 2023. I'm raising funds to support COTS, Vermont's largest provider of services for Vermonters who are homeless, at risk of becoming homeless, or marginally housed.

The focus at COTS is on finding solutions to END homelessness — not simply creating shelters for people who are experiencing homelessness. 

This year your support is more critical than ever. Our homeless neighbors are especially vulnerable in this pandemic – many guests in shelter are elderly or have compromised immune systems. You cannot shelter at home when you are homeless.

I am proud to walk for COTS this year as they work to provide shelter, services, and support to families and individuals during this difficult crisis. 

Please help support me in this important project by contributing generously. Thanks to the Walk sponsors, EVERY DOLLAR raised through the COTS Walk supports shelter and services for families and individuals in crisis.

You can write a check made out to COTS, give cash, or donate through this page right now! The process is fast, easy and secure. If you would prefer, you can send your contribution to the address listed below.
