Congratulations

Declan is an incredible young man and I’m just so darn proud of him. ❤️ 🇺🇸❤️

Today we donated a van full of socks to the Veterans Multi-Service Center

Socks may seem like a small thing, but they are one of the most needed items for individuals experiencing homelessness—especially our veterans. We’re grateful to support an organization that works every day to serve those who have served us.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support our mission. Every pair truly makes a difference.

Sometimes helping someone means meeting them exactly where they are.

We have a gentleman who needed our help — someone we’ve been working with and checking in on for many years. He does not struggle with Substance Use Disorder; he simply lives outside and has chosen that life, even when help is offered.

Many people have tried over the years to connect him with long-term assistance. Despite best efforts, he always finds his way back to his favorite spot. With the bitter cold this weekend, we knew we couldn’t ignore how unsafe and uncomfortable this weather would be for him. Shelters are not an option he’s comfortable with, and we want to respect his choices while still keeping him safe.

So, for his safety, we made the decision to put him up in a hotel for a few days to get him out of the cold. 🤍
If anyone is able and willing to help, we would love to be able to provide him with meals for the next four days while he’s there. Anything — big or small — truly helps and goes directly toward caring for him.

If you’d like to contribute, you can send via Venmo or reach out to us for other options. Thank you for always being a part of this village, for your compassion, and for helping us show that no one has to face the cold alone. 💙
