Richie’s Million-Dollar Sleepout Challenge

Richie Roncero, once addicted and now a recovery hero, is sleeping rough in 26 cities over 26 weeks to raise $1 million for Hope House — a facility desperately needed to expand its life-saving program and cover a full year of operations. Already at $150K, his mission is personal, painful, and powerful — he’s doing it clean and sober, armed with nothing but a sleeping bag and toothbrush, to show what homelessness feels like and why funding matters. With 50 monthly assessments and a waiting list, Hope House’s impact is undeniable — 60+ graduates, families healed, communities transformed — but space is still too scarce. Richie’s journey is raw, relentless, and urgently needed. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
