Dear Friends and Supporters,
We are humbly reaching out to you on this day with a heartfelt plea to help us to bring hope and assistance to those who need it the most. Our mission is to extend our reach to homeless communities and shut-in individuals and families by acquiring the motorhome. The vehicle will help us to travel to various locations, without having to worry about the expense of trying to get a motel room, leaving more funds to help those in need. The purpose is to provide essential services, support, blankets and coats where possible, food such as a hot soup on a cold day, and more importantly, a caring presence to those in dire need, letting them know we are here and we care.

Our Goal: In order for this vision to become a reality, we need to raise $20,000 to purchase a motorhome. This mobile unit, which will be branded with the mission logo, will serve as a beacon of hope to those in need. We will provide food, clothing, coats, blankets and other essentials directly to those who cannot come to us. Furthermore, we will dispatch our team to those in need at times of disaster providing the same services. Your generous contributions will directly impact the lives of countless individuals, bringing comfort and aid to those living on the margins of society as well as those in a time of need.
We are also hoping the program will continue to grow, allowing us to also assist with utility costs, and rent when they are struggling to keep up with running their home, but we want to build this slowly, and start with the blankets, coats and food.

Becoming a 501(c)3 Nonprofit: In addition to the motorhome, we are raising funds to finish the final stages of becoming a recognized 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, which essentially means, that any donations that you provide will be tax deductible. Furthermore, this status will enable us to expand our reach, apply for grants, and to receive tax-deductible donations. Our registration with the State of California has already been completed, and our only hold up is the high fee being charged by the IRS in order to become recognized as a nonprofit religious group. The fee of $275.00 must be paid before the IRS will approve our nonprofit status. The paperwork is done, and the only hold out is the fee.
