Who we are:
Our goal is to fundraise to help pay for the client’s expenses, start businesses to put profit into the shelter, and provide income for the clients. Our immediate fundraising goal is to raise $15 million dollars.
What we need:
Monetary donations to care for each person to cover administrative and operational expenses (approximately $50,000 per year per person), commercial/residential properties, temporary shelters such as apartments/houses (2 bedroom or more), rooming houses, motels/hotels, resource information we can use to help the homeless (ex. employment, properties, furnishings to donate, grants), volunteers, college intern students, lawyer, CPA, event planner, grant writer, advisory board members, and eventually staff. People who are good with Constant Contact, ClickBank, ClickFunnels, Canva, WordPress, digital/social media marketing, YouTube, and sales. People who have successful online businesses to help us obtain, start, and run online businesses to put profit into the shelter and provide income for the clients.
What you can do to help us:
Donate money ASAP, make an in-kind donation for a tax write-off, give us resource information to help the homeless (such as grants, furnishings {bedroom, kitchen, living room}, employment or housing), support us by networking our information and support/buying tickets for our fundraising events. If you help us in any way we can use, you can get a free ticket for the next event.

We placed the disabled Williams family, and they need 2 sets of bedroom furnishings and living room furnishings, a small refrigerator, mop, pail, vacuum cleaner, and cleaning products today.
We are helping the Brown family, mother and 2 daughters, acquire a 2 or 3-bedroom apartment under $1,000 rent, furnishings, cleaning products, and at least $5,000 to get them in temporary shelter today.
We are helping the Spenser family, mother and 2 daughters, acquire a 2 or 3-bedroom apartment under $1,000 rent, furnishings, cleaning products, and at least $5,000 to get them in temporary shelter today.
