Hampton University's MOSAIC, TheWISEOrg, Dream Defenders HU and the LGBT Life Center presents:

SPIRIT OF XX: Homeless Center Service Project

Here we are again! #Year2

At this moment, there's a family of four looking for a home, and they are in dire need of your support. We are reaching out to our compassionate Hampton community, seeking financial assistance to fundraise essential supplies for this family. This humble yet heartfelt appeal is aimed at making a meaningful impact on their lives, providing them with the basic necessities they require to get through this challenging period. We understand that times are tough for many, but together, we can make a significant difference and offer them a glimmer of hope in their time of need.

The funds we raise will go directly towards securing vital supplies such as food, clothing, hygiene products, and school materials for the children. By contributing to this cause, you're not just giving money; you're providing hope, dignity, and a brighter future for a family that deserves it. Every dollar counts, and your generosity can make a world of difference. Join us in this heartfelt mission to uplift the lives of this family and help them regain their stability and self-sufficiency. Together, we can make their journey towards a better future a reality.

Last year we raised $300 and this year we want to push even further!

Please give anything you can, because a little can go a long way! Thank you for your support.

Love,

Spirit of XX

Message from TheWISEOrg CE, Dream Defenders HU, and MOSAIC's president, Katelyn Flowers:

Hello Everyone! My name is Katelyn Flowers, a graduating senior Entrepreneurship major from Bowie, MD. I am the current president of MOSAIC (the FIRST LGBTQ+ organization at Hampton University), Dream Defenders HU (an organization to raise awareness for and protect black and brown people) and TheWISEOrg CE (a self-care organization at Hampton university). During summer 2023, I came across a tiktok (@rianne.kdc), about how a mother takes her time every year to gather supplies and "furnish" a homeless family's room for their semi-permanent/permanent stay, with clothes, shoes, jewelry, snacks, makeup, hygiene/sanitary products, and more! I thought it was truly something beautiful and definitely something I wanted to do. I asked my mom to do it with me after I saw the tik tok, but we never got around to it. So, one day I was looking in my saved tik toks folder and I saw the video again! I got the wonderful idea to bring this service project to MY HBCU's campus, Hampton University. I went searching for a Homeless Shelter to sponsor a family at, and I came across a homeless center called the LGBT Life Center ( lgbtlifecenter.org) , and I decided that they were a wonderful place to start. After that, I set up a meeting, told them what I wanted to do, and now it's history! I gathered help from other organizations, We came together to form THE Spirit of XX (Love): Homeless Center Service Project. We are excited to bring you all along with us on our journey. Please help me make our dream come true!

With love,

Katelyn
