Skid row

The fastest growing homeless community resides within Los Angeles. I believe this community is underreported and under addressed.

The bigger they are, the harder they fall. I truly believe that starting to fix Skid row in Los Angeles will cause not only an attack on homeless communities accross the United States, but the underrepresented communities as a whole. I know people feel this is a hard challenge due to the overflowing addiction and mental illness within our communities, but I have hope. Everyone I spoke to in americas largest homeless community spoke of education, mental care, cost of housing and representation. I don't think any one of these are the sole answer, but I believe the leading answer is human compassion. loving your neighbour, loving your people.

I would like to tackle this head on and physically represent your donations to this go fund me. Any and all comments/messages received by donators will be addressed and physically represented by me in Skid row. You will decide as a community.

My ideas are:
Free food catering in the heart of Skid row.
Splitting donations to missions.
Blankets and tents.
Public restroom installation.
Individual donation.
Cleaning the streets of Skid row.

These are only a few, but I'm sure our minds together can think of far more and better.

The end goal is no man left behind.

In all the years I've lived here, what has hurt me the most is talking to the people I see everyday on the streets who have hopes and dreams and feel the same as I, what I believe we sometimes forget as people. I have witnessed people zip tying cardboard coffins together to shield themselves from the cold at night to sleep and I am forever changed.

These donations will be the beginnings of a message which will open our eyes. I believe we are all born equal, but some without equal opportunity. A team is only as strong as their weakest player. Our country works in unison and I believe for us to grow past our problems, we must help our neighbours who are hurting.

My last video of Skid row at night has 12.000 views so far. I have the same hopes for the most recent video 'Skid row". if everyone sent only a dollar, together we could be the start of a wave that changes our nation.

let's set the bar.
