From the Streets to Giving Back—Help Us Provide Warmth

​Two years ago, my life changed in an instant. After an unlawful eviction, my special needs son, our two dogs, and I found ourselves living on the streets next to a San Jose freeway intersection. For 87 days, the wet soil was our bed.

​I want to start by saying thank you again to every single person who helped us two years ago. Whether you dropped off a bottle of water, a blanket, or donated to the GoFundMe that raised $16,542—you saved us. Because of your incredible kindness, I was able to get back on my feet, and today I am proud to be a business owner running my own handyman and repair service.

​But I haven't forgotten what those cold nights feel like.

​With temperatures dropping across the San Jose and Santa Clara area, I can’t sit by knowing families are out there in the same spot I once was. I want to use my new business as a way to pay back the kindness I was shown.

​How You Can Help:

• ​Donate Funds: 100% of money raised will go toward purchasing high-quality, heavy-duty thermal blankets.

• ​Donate Blankets: If you have a new or gently used (clean) blanket to spare, please drop it off at my new office: ​Drop-Off Location: 2270 Canoas Garden Ave, Unit A, San Jose

• ​Share This: Even a simple share helps us reach more neighbors.

​I was once the person receiving the blanket. Now, thanks to the second chance this community gave me, I want to be the one delivering them. Let’s make sure no one has to shiver through the night alone.

​Thank you for your continued support and for helping me keep our neighbors warm
