"During my mission trips in Cuba and Dominican Republic, I noticed many health issues. Our goal in Cuba was to learn about the culture and connect with the at risk foster youth. Our Goal in the Dominican Republic was to rebuild an impoverished community named Canada De Las Palmas. But, all I could think about was the terrible health issues. Common issues were infected cuts that could be prevented if they had basic necessities. Some people don’t agree that certain things are necessities, but many are privileged and do not realize it until they put themselves in the shoes of those in need. I wanted to go back to these countries to help but that may be a challenge. My mom said “start off small” and I realized that I can help make change in communities where I reside before traveling somewhere else."

OUR STORY
Working Towards a Better Tomorrow
Dealing with the challenges of today requires problem-solvers who bring different perspectives and are willing to take risks. Health of The Homeless emerged out of a pursuit to inspire and support the community, and a desire for actions to speak louder than words. Established in 2019, we are an organization driven by progressive ideas, bold actions, and a strong foundation of support. Contact us to learn more and get involved.
