Help Them Home 2026: Thank You for Showing Up for Robyne’s Nest
When a community comes together with generosity and purpose, the impact reaches far beyond a single day.
During Help Them Home 2026, supporters showed up in a powerful way for Robyne’s Nest. Because of your generosity, we raised $85,000 from 130 donors to help students facing housing instability access safety, stability, and the support they need to stay in school and keep moving forward.
We are deeply grateful to every person who gave, shared our message, encouraged others to get involved, and helped build momentum around this campaign. Every act of support mattered.
We also want to thank our matching donors for helping build momentum throughout the campaign and amplify the impact of every gift. We’re grateful for the support of Kata Conlon, St. Peter’s By-the-Sea Presbyterian Church, the Robyne’s Nest Board, Kannow Family Foundation, The Walls Family Trust, and A Little Help Foundation. Their matching support helped inspire giving and expand what this campaign made possible for the students we serve.
Help Them Home is a countywide effort focused on addressing homelessness in Orange County, and we were honored to be part of that shared mission. For Robyne’s Nest, this campaign was an opportunity not only to raise funds but also to raise awareness about the challenges many students face when housing becomes uncertain.
For the young people we serve, housing instability can disrupt nearly every aspect of their lives. It can make it harder to attend class consistently, stay focused, feel safe, and plan for the future. Support through campaigns like Help Them Home helps Robyne’s Nest continue providing the resources, encouragement, and stability students need during some of the most difficult seasons of their lives.
We also want to extend special thanks to the matching donors whose generosity helped create momentum throughout the campaign. Their support amplified the impact of every gift and helped inspire others to step in and give.
This year’s result is especially meaningful as we reflect on the growth of this effort over time:
2024: $76,000 raised from 98 donors
2025: $36,000 raised from 67 donors
2026: $85,000 raised from 130 donors
These numbers tell a story of a community that continues to care deeply about local students and their futures.
To everyone who stood with Robyne’s Nest during Help Them Home — thank you. Your generosity helps students stay safe, stay in school, and move toward long-term stability.
We are so grateful to have a community that believes in showing up for young people in tangible, meaningful ways.
If you’d like to keep supporting Robyne’s Nest and the students we serve, we invite you to stay connected, share our mission, and follow along as this impact continues.
