Downtown Women's Center

Hi Everyone,
I have never in my life asked anyone for money for a something like this. Not sure how I feel about it. As I like to be private.  But I work around the LA area and the homelessness is so bad that I can no longer just be a bystander. I want to raise awareness of the homeless crisis we are facing in our country. I believe its systemic and not that all of these people have made life choices to be where they are.
     I plan on participating on March 5th 4x4x48. Inspired by David Goggins. In which you run 4 miles every 4 hours for 48hrs. I have not trained but last year I ran a 50 mile run in14hrs with only three runs under my belt. I guess you could say I like pain. I am a Special Forces operator or at least I was. So the thought of not sleeping and being in pain does not bother me in fact I sort of get excited for it. What bother me is seeing the pain and suffering of Americans that live right next to me in the streets. Especially women. I grew up with a single mom and at one point we needed aid. A helping hand if you will. We received that and my mom was able to pull through and create a beautiful life for us. Everyone at some point needs a hand especially during this year of extremely rough times. I am asking for donations. I am trying to reach $5k. If I reach that target I will donate myself double that amount. My plan is to Post on instagram (akm1981) my start and finish times of my 12 runs in the 48 hrs. To prove I did not slack nor cheat. Any amount is appreciated. If anyone wants to join me in Ojai that weekend. You have a place to stay. Thank you ahead of time. below is the link to the charity.

Want to join me in making a difference? I'm raising money to benefit Downtown Women's Center, and any donation will help make an impact. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.

More information about Downtown Women's Center: DWC's mission is to provide permanent supportive housing and a safe and healthy community fostering dignity, respect, and personal stability, and to advocate ending homelessness for women.

For my Mitzvah Project I have decided to do something that relates to my Torah portion. I am raising money for the downtown women's center. This money is going to go straight to the center and will benefit the women there. My goal is $500 but if i could raise more that would be great. The center is filled with homeless women and gives them the comfort of a home. They're provided with food, water, shelter, and so much more. This money will help them a lot! I hope you can donate.

Dear Friends,

My journey to the 2017 Los Angeles Marathon actually began almost nine years ago after suffering a heart attack. It is a path that has opened both my heart and my mind to the needs of others, for women in particular. Like many of you, I am truly grateful for the opportunities I have enjoyed in my life, realizing how blessed I am. So many others, in the our city, go without the many comforts I sometimes take for granted. Homeless women in the Los Angeles area are certainly among those who are often overlooked.

With your generous support in the past, we have been able to raise money for the Downtown Women's Center. It is an organization that is both effective and worthwhile, and has helped thousands of women survive the vagaries of the street, having helped many find a path off of it. DWC's mission is to provide permanent supportive housing and a safe and healthy community fostering dignity, respect, and personal stability, and to advocate ending homelessness for women.

This year I am, again, dedicating my Marathon walk on March 19th to the Downtown Women's Center to help facilitate the programs that benefit the homeless women in the Los Angeles area. Won't you join me for this marathon by donating on my behalf to this very noble organization.

Very sincerely yours,
Renee
