Hello Donor,

I'm Dr. Gloria Shell Mitchell, author, educator and housing provider at JOY Youth Services Inc. Minnie’s Shell, our housing program for unhoused women, is in crisis due to budget cuts for agencies assisting low-income individuals. The cuts in healthcare, food and housing subsidies have caused added emotional and mental distress on persons already dealing with the trauma of homelessness.

This incredible organization empowers youths, families, and communities in Los Angeles and East Africa by providing essential education, opportunities, activities, and affordable housing. Most of our program participants are former foster youth and survivors of adverse childhood experiences (ACES).

Together, we can help create lasting change!
