homes as community centers

Outreach.  Events.  Foster Care.
​

  Spencer was at my house often. My front yard functioned as a peaceful and colorful oasis away from the hustle and bustle of LA. We would sit on my porch amidst the shade and greenery, drinking tea or espresso. Many times we invited others over to join us. Whipping together brunches was our specialty for friends during the weekends. There were many impromptu visits. Spencer fell in love with a food outreach to the homeless we served at during the week, called the Hope Center. We would have the guys over for dinner and shared stories and laughs. He loved helping me host themed parties and decorating for special events like birthday parties, wine and art nights, outdoor movies, bridal or baby showers to father-daughter date nights. We dreamed of making a restaurant out of owning our own home someday, that would provide a greater capacity to do what we were already doing. I loved these conversations. We would talk about Cesar, who would be our head chef, an exuberant spirit who used to sleep on the steps of the Hope Center, but now volunteers his time making all the meals during the week to serve others on the street. We would imagine our friends performing, listening to their passions or displaying their art on the walls. Spencer and I also spent what felt like decades, talking about what we learned from facing our childhood trauma, that into our adult lives, therapy and community were healing. We shared the frustrations for existing stigmas, accessibility or financial hindrances to such care. Spencer, in a way was just a big kid. You couldn't get him to shut up about his excitement for all the beauty around him. He was so exuberant and gentle and could tell stories with great detail which captivated the kids I watched. With my personal experience helping at-risk children for the past 20 years, it was natural to want to become a foster mom. Spencer's heart leapt at the idea and wanted to help me parent too. He would have made an incredible father. Where art, family, community, and outreach were, Spencer was there. I want to give Spencer the home, (homes) we always wanted.

FOSTER CARE

Purchasing and leasing Homes to be used as Foster Homes for children rescued out of sex-trafficking and 
training up Resource Families to care for them through our partner, Saving Innocence.

OUTREACH

Homes providing the space for free support groups and therapy to our community. Innovative services like art-therapy, soul-sessions, emotional detox, and unplugged retreats would be offered. 

Events

Homes used as hubs for artist inspired events such as live music nights, outdoor movies, workshops, stand up comedy shows, wine and art classes, community dinners, and fundraisers. These events would provide safe and fun outings to our neighbors that are family friendly.
