YSS SleepOut Teams Enjoy Mild Evening (The Intelligencer)
Posted 11/05/22[from The Intelligencer]
At the SleepOut, Elena Wiselka, who had been one of the youths YSS assisted in the past, said she was participating in order to help give back to the system which helped her out. Her team, Memory Lane, built a gingerbread house.
“I was in the independent living program as a child, and I’m coming back to support it,” Wiselka said. “It’s a lot warmer this year. We’re veterans – we’ve done it for a couple years, and we’re winging it. It’s for a good cause, it’s fun, and … it’s just a great experience. The kids in the living program, they really need it.”
