Hi friends!
This is my personal fund that helps those in our community who need a boost! Particularly the homeless who endure more than I could even fathom, day in and day out…
I used to ignore them, and frankly be intimidated by them!, and then one day I met “Lizzy” in the pouring rain just trying to get a warm drink who completely opened up my eyes – and my heart – to the realities out there.
From that point forward I couldn’t ignore it anymore, and immediately immersed myself into our local resources, volunteering my time and my skills, and ultimately just being as much of a friend to the unhoused as I possibly can.
And now I’m on a mission to help them *financially* as much as I can too!
This is where the Community Fund comes into play :)
Every dollar that gets donated here goes 100% directly to the community, and the more money that comes in the more people I can directly help. Sometimes I will use the funds to purchase needed things such as food, clothes, sleeping bags, etc, but often times I will just be the middle man funneling them the one thing I know they can use every single time: cold hard cash.
If you’d like to join me, click this button to donate through Paypal (you don’t need a Paypal account to do so), or DM me on the side and we’ll find another way to make it happen. (I know I have a Venmo somewhere!)
None of these donations are tax deductible, but I do hope you’ll still consider it as every last dollar here helps immensely, and I promise you you won’t miss it nearly as much…
If you’re not in the position to be able to donate money, I hope you’ll at least consider volunteering and learning more about what’s going on in your own community as there’s always some small way you can help. With one of the most important just being a friendly face to talk to!
Thank you for reading and supporting my projects over the years, and a HUGE thank you to Lizzy for finally opening up my eyes around this. I will forever make it my mission to make you proud 🙏
With overabounding love,
PS: That bracelet up top came from Lizzy. Doesn’t own a thing, yet lovingly took it off her wrist and put it on mine one day after commenting on how pretty it was! I’m constantly surprised by how much hatred people have towards others (particularly the homeless), but gestures like this remind me of humans’ capacity to LOVE just as fiercely too. Yet another subtle teaching by Lizzy…
