Rumpus friend and poet extraordinaire D. A. Powell is encouraging his twitter followers to give money to Larkin Street Youth, a support organization for homeless youth in San Francisco. For every donation made, Powell will donate $50 until he reaches his goal of giving $3000.

Donate to LSY here. Let D. A. know you’ve donated by tweeting “I’ve donated to LSYS” to @Powell_DA on Twitter.
