Help Us Furnish Our Community Healing Space
My name is Adolfo Davis, and I’m the founder of Saving Our Urban Leaders — a grassroots movement rooted in Washington Park, serving Inglewood and surrounding communities.
We’ve taken a huge step forward — we’ve secured a space that will become a powerful center for transformation, healing, and hope. Now, we’re asking for your help to furnish and equip it, so we can open our doors wide to the youth, elders, and families who need it most.

✊ My Journey: From Harm to Healing
I was born and raised in this community. I’ve lived the struggle — and I’ve been on both sides of it. As a young man, I made mistakes that brought harm to my community. I take full responsibility for that. But I also found healing, accountability, and purpose. I turned my life around, and I committed myself to helping rebuild what I once helped break.
That commitment gave birth to Saving Our Urban Leaders (S.O.U.L.) — an organization rooted in love, service, and the belief that real change starts with real people who’ve lived it.

We’re Not Doing This Alone
I’m grateful to say I haven’t walked this path by myself. Family, close friends, and powerful partners like Phalanx Family Services have helped me stay grounded, focused, and supported on this journey. Their belief in me and in the mission of S.O.U.L. is why we’ve come this far — and why we’re ready to take the next step.

What This Space Means
We’ve secured a physical space — and that’s a blessing. But right now, it’s just walls and floors. With your help, we’ll turn it into a:
• Youth center where young people can learn, grow, and feel safe
• Elder gathering space where respect and care are the foundation
• Community hub for healing circles, workshops, meals, events, and support

️ What We Need
Your donation will help us:
• Furnish the space with chairs, couches, desks, and tables
• Equip youth rooms with books, computers, art supplies, and more
• Stock a small kitchen area for food drives and family meals
• Create a welcoming environment that reflects the pride and beauty of our people
We’ve done so much with so little — all out of pocket. But now, we need our larger community to rally with us so this space can truly shine.

How You Can Support
• Donate whatever you can — no amount is too small
• Share this campaign with your family, friends, and networks
• Stand with us as we transform trauma into triumph
We’ve secured the space. The dream is real. Now we just need to bring it to life.
From the bottom of my heart — thank you for your belief, your support, and your love.
With deep gratitude,
Adolfo Davis
