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

I'm honored to be a recent board member! Jeremy and I have supported Junket as early volunteers and monthly donors since 2011. We will personally match all donations up to our campaign goal.

Junket is 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. This is what it looks like:

- Connecting members with computers for GED and professional training

- Help filing taxes

- Planning community events for connection and volunteer opportunities

It's more than a program; it’s a lifelong investment in belonging, growth and lasting impactful change for generations to come.

This year, Junket is setting big goals! Please consider making a one-time gift to support the organization in hiring staff or joining us as a regular donor to cover monthly program costs.

Whether you give $25 or $250, every dollar makes a difference!

Did you know that:

  • Between 18% to 26% of young adults who have aged out of foster care will end up in homeless shelters - Albany Report (2019)
  • Fewer than half of all young adults ages 18 to 34 (45%) say they’re completely financially independent from their parents. - Pew Research (2025)
  • 50% of foster youth are unemployed by the age of 24 - Improving Outcomes (2023)

Please reach out if you want to learn more about this unique non-profit- I'd love to talk with you!

Will you join me in supporting this beautiful community?
