We want to help homeless women because as young women ourselves we can understand the struggle that they have to obtain basic necessities. As women, they are also at risk at being out there. Women make up 33-35% of the homeless population. Most of them became homeless because of legal situations, domestic violence, government issues, high rent prices, etc. These women are often traumatized and we want to help them in a "small" way but knowing that it will brighten up their day.
