For the past four years, I’ve dedicated myself to supporting the houseless community in Lawton, Oklahoma. Every chance I get, I provide hot meals, blankets, tents, sleeping bags, socks, beanies, sweatshirts, coats, and other essentials—especially during the harsh winter months. In the summer, I focus on water, electrolyte drinks, cooling towels, sunscreen, and basic hygiene items to help people stay safe and healthy. Until now, I’ve done all of this on my own, never asking for help, but the need continues to grow.

Every single dollar raised through this fundraiser will go directly back into helping people survive and feel seen. My hope is to reach more individuals who are struggling day-to-day on the streets, especially those who have gone years without consistent help or human connection. With your support, I can expand the number of care packages I put together—more hot meals, more blankets, more sleeping bags, more tents, and more warm clothing during the winter months. In the summer, your donations will help provide more water, cooling supplies, and hygiene items to prevent dehydration and heat-related illness. These funds will also allow me to show up more often, stay out longer, and reach people in areas that are often overlooked, especially during extreme weather events when help is needed most.

Most importantly, your generosity helps restore dignity and hope. It’s not just about handing someone an item; it’s about reminding them that they matter, that they haven’t been forgotten, and that someone cares enough to stop, listen, and help. My goal is to continue growing this effort so that no one in our community feels invisible or alone, no matter the season. Every act of kindness—big or small—creates a real, immediate impact, and I am deeply grateful to everyone who chooses to be part of this mission.
