At 19, after an otherwise ideal childhood with loving parents, I embarked on a journey through homelessness that led me across states from Hawaii to California, Oregon, Arizona, Florida, and even Massachusetts, lasting over a decade. My passion for aiding the homeless stems from a deep, personal understanding of the harsh realities they face daily. Like many advocates, my journey has been shaped by firsthand experience with the unpredictability and peril of life without a stable home. I know what it's like to channel every ounce of energy into mere survival, with little left to pursue education or personal growth. Surviving on the streets, I encountered numerous dangers and witnessed the stark inadequacy of existing homeless services. These services, meant to be a lifeline, were often virtually non-existent. This realization fueled my determination to make a change. I believe that with the right support, not only can we offer immediate local assistance, but also, if my vision holds true, we can expand into a nationwide network of comprehensive support. My experiences have not only shaped my views but have instilled in me a resilience that I draw upon daily. There were moments fraught with danger, where survival depended on being tough or lucky enough to escape with minor harm. These close calls have underscored the urgency of my mission: to transform the landscape of homeless support, ensuring safety, dignity, and opportunity for all those who find themselves without a home.

‘Driven by years of questioning divine justice amidst societal neglect, my work is fueled by a plea for mercy and action, aspiring to create a world where the afflicted can rejoice in the support from those guided by God's compassion’
