This giving season, I'm reaching out to ask for your support of an organization close to my heart.

I'm honored to serve on the board of Junket, a for-life mentoring community supporting young adults and their families after foster care in New York City.

Junket helps its young adult members build stable, future-oriented lives by offering connection and proactive support in areas such as career guidance, real-world readiness, smart money skills, family support and, most importantly, a community where they will always be welcome.

Junket’s end goal is to empower economic mobility, strengthen crisis navigation and cultivate family stability in the lives of its young adult members.

I'm personally matching the first $1,000 in donations—doubling your impact—as I work toward my Giving Tuesday goal of $10,000.

Your contribution directly supports programs that help young adults build confidence, develop new skills, and envision brighter futures after foster care. Whether you can give $25 or $250, every dollar makes a difference.

Will you join me in supporting these incredible individuals?
