We are in a housing crisis.

People of all ages, and families with children, are desperately searching for safe, secure, affordable homes. It especially breaks my heart to know that so many seniors cannot find a place to call home.

My name is Karen Smulevitz, and I care about my neighbors in Oakland, California, where there is not enough affordable housing for everyone who needs it.  I can't ignore the hardship this causes, and I intend to DO SOMETHING to help out.

I am fortunate to live in a senior housing complex, so I am safe and secure, but many others are not.

It is my deepest desire to help others get the opportunity for a place of their own.

That is why I want to do something SPECTACULAR to draw attention to the problem and encourage good people to help alleviate the suffering due to homelessness.

On my 80th birthday, March 14, 2025, my SPECTACULAR exploit will be to jump out of an airplane! That will be a LEAP to let you know how serious I am in helping seniors get a roof over their heads.

It's called Jump 4 Home, and the intent is to raise money for affordable housing.

Please consider sponsoring me and help raise funds. It could make an incredible difference for someone who needs a home. Tell your friends and family to join in! You are also welcome to join me in jumping on March 14. How thrilling that would be!
