Laura lived a full life for decades. She graduated from Mira Costa, traveled and thrived in her professional life. Then, through a combination of our families' many generations struggle with alcoholism, her own trauma, mental health crisis, Laura ended up homeless.

Over the years many people have done everything they could to keep her safe, but there was never a long term solution or much hope. Now we have one, and there's new hope.

Lila and the team at Harbor Interfaith have found long term housing for Laura. For the first time, there's a real chance Laura can get off the street permanently, with a support team that will be consistently present. From there Laura can start building a safe healthy life. We're hopeful that someday she can help others going through similar struggles.

Over the years we've never asked for help, because all solutions were short term. Now with a long term solution within arms reach it's important that we get secure a plan by September 6th. 

The money that we're raising will be used for:

Medical, dental and support services
Healthy food
Gaps in housing costs (anything that isn't covered by the voucher)
Simple household items (sheets, towels, kitchenware, some pictures)
Transportation

How we got here is a long story. If anyone has any questions please let me know we can talk on the phone or over email. 

Thank you for taking the time to read this. Thank you to everyone who has helped over the years. It's been a rollercoaster and we're so hopeful that we're moving into a new safe, healthy and loving chapter for Laura. 

Thank you!
