This Friday night I will be sleeping outside in a cardboard BOX.


This Friday night I will be sleeping outside in a cardboard BOX.

Not because it is fun but because there are over 470 homeless persons in the Valley!


At Keller Williams we are passionate about home ownership and not just for the well-off. We believe that shelter is something no one should be without.

Most of us have been down and out at some point in our lives and have been extended a helping hand by someone. Now it is our turn to pay that forward.

That’s why I have committed to support Family Promise. They are committed getting individuals back on their feet.

“Family Promise mobilizes community resources and local congregations to provide compassionate care through shelter, meals, and case management to families without housing. Guest families are sheltered overnight in area churches and receive hospitality from church members/volunteers. FPMS Office/Day center staff provide case management ensuring guests can regain their self sufficiency.”


The Wasilla Keller Williams Group has decided to supply over 400 water bottles for those of us sleeping in boxes!


We have two more needs:

1. There are 4 couples who are currently homeless and would like to participate in the event. Each individual needs a minimum of $50 to participate. So we are looking for 8 sponsors at $50 each to help these individuals.

2. We also need general cash donations. We have two matching sponsors. For each dollar we raise it will be matched by two dollars.


This is going to be a great event with an estimated 200 participants.


Lets be the change we want to see in the world starting at home!
