“I feel lucky to have met a group of such passionate young people who truly care about issues around them and are eager to become part of the solution. We all work hard together to support Horizons but have a lot of fun in the process! As a PAL, I can see first hand the positive impact that Horizons has on the lives of children affected by homelessness – supporting that mission in any way I can is important to me.” -Mariel Mauss, P.L.A.Y. Network Co-chair, PAL, Donor
