Had some of our rock star regular volunteers this

Had some of our rock star regular volunteers this morning (zero hair professionals but we are gonna keep it positive) 😁 But if I see this group, I can breathe a little easier. We see these amazing folks easily multiple times a month, if not multiple times a week. The work we do is not possible without incredible volunteers, and we have a bunch of them ! We really want to try and make sure everyone who volunteers with us, to help those experiencing homelessness, knows how truly grateful we are for their time and hard work. Come join us !!! It is the coolest thing to be able to make someone’s day, vastly better !!!

One of the most heartbreaking moments is meeting y

One of the most heartbreaking moments is meeting young folks experiencing homelessness, like Jesse. There is so much untapped potential that is stuck on the streets. One of the rules of our nonprofit is that we do not tell those we meet that they need to change their life. Change never transpired when it is forced. The individual themselves needs to want to make a change. Our goal is to boost self esteem and build up hope in those using our services. We want them to believe in themselves and know that a life off the streets is possible, if they want that for themselves. We hope to see Jesse more often and make sure he knows that people care about him, and that we believe in him. There are so many really great humans who just happen to currently be experiencing homelessness. We must do a better job as a species to show them that we care. Thank you to all who support us and allow us these opportunities to show compassion, kindness and love. Things those experiencing homelessness rarely receive.

When researching shower trailers, we discovered mo

When researching shower trailers, we discovered most bought pre-made trailers that had nowhere for someone experiencing homelessness in a wheelchair to shower. We built our trailer to make sure individuals like Teddy have a place to take a hot shower. The back of our trailer folds down to become a ramp, and here our employee Sean (also experiencing homelessness) gets ready to help wheel Teddy up the ramp to our ADA wheelchair accessible shower. Every trip out we will see 2+ people a day who are either in a chair, or need to use the seat in our ADA shower. So glad we are able to show them we didn’t forget about them and their needs. Thank you to everyone who supports our nonprofit and allows us to do the work we love to do.

@huntercazador was our only hair professional toda

@huntercazador was our only hair professional today. TWO additional stylists had signed up but did not actually show up. HALF of those who sign up don’t show up. We need more hair professionals to join us and help provide haircuts to our friends experiencing homelessness. Aside from being a huge self esteem boost, a fresh haircut is crucial to those out applying for jobs. Come join us. Help make a difference.

Carl has been using our services for three months, and decided it was time to get a chop since it was about to become Summer here in Phoenix. Carl kept on rubbing his hands over his head and smiling.

So grateful for @thesunflowerstylist and @_celesti

So grateful for @thesunflowerstylist and @_celestialhair for volunteering with us, and providing amazing haircuts to our friends experiencing homelessness. There have been days recently where we have not had any hair professionals join us, and it is so upsetting having to tell those in need of a haircut that we don’t have anyone to help. If you are a stylist/barber, and would like to come volunteer, please let us know. A professional haircut is so important to individuals who some have went years without a professional cutting their hair. The self esteem boost they get from seeing themselves after their cut is massive. Come help us make a difference. Thank you to Jenni and Jenna for brightening the day of those who sat in their chairs.

Few things can be as heartbreaking as seeing young

Few things can be as heartbreaking as seeing young children experiencing homelessness. Justine and her beautiful daughter Gemma visited us and used our services. Gemma was the star of the day. This little girl made best friends with everyone. She sat at the table and helped others sign up for their shower. She helped hand out supplies and brought smiles to everyone’s faces. She was such a happy little girl and we really hope her situation in life improves because this little girl deserves the world. Hope we get the chance to see them again and that they both will soon be in a much better place.

So excited about our new partnership with @myearthbreeze !!! Having an Earth friendly detergent is something we are proud to offer. Our friends experiencing homelessness are so happy to have us wash their clothes, and being able to do laundry and be better to our Earth is a huge plus.

WOW !!! Last week we mentioned being low on supplies for the hygiene bags we give to each individual experiencing homelessness after they shower, and we received a bunch of goodies. Thank you so much to the amazing folks who sent us all these goodies. We are nothing without all of you supporting the work we do. We are so grateful. Have an amazing weekend friends.

Today we had ZERO hair professionals. Had 48 individuals experiencing homelessness that showered, and the majority asked about getting a haircut. Having to tell them we don’t have anyone to help them is extremely disappointing ☹️ Haircuts are so important to those on the streets and trying to get a job. We NEED more hair professionals to join our team. Link in the comments below if you are a stylist/barber and want to help. We really need your help. Thank you

Little peak at the behind the scenes of year five

Little peak at the behind the scenes of year five of Operation Santa. Thank you to everyone who donated and made this possible. You rock !

Erik is one of our favorites. He was so happy about his mohawk Elena gave him. Whenever we see Erik we let him know we are happy to see him, and his response is “It’s good to be seen”, as so many will look right through those experiencing homelessness as if they do not exist. Erik shared that the root of his response dates back to a three days around Thanksgiving when he sat outside a CVS Pharmacy and for three days every single person ignored him, and then one person finally just said hello to him and recognized his existence. We must change the way we treat those experiencing homelessness. We are so glad we have had the opportunity to make friends with Erik. There are so many really amazing humans who just currently are experiencing homelessness. Let’s be better humans !!!

Huge Thank You to @discover for sponsoring our Belly Up program and giving us the funding to provide warm meals to our friends experiencing homelessness. Today’s meal was hot dogs and macaroni & cheese. There was not a single person who didn’t go back and get a second plate. We are so grateful that everyone using our services walks away with a full stomach.

Brian has had this terrible wound on his next for 3 months. Each time we see Brian, after he takes his shower, our incredible volunteer Michelle will rub antibacterial on the wound and then wraps his neck in gauze. Brian is always so grateful for our team looking out for him. Our team of volunteers are absolutely amazing. We appreciate every person who joins us and helps show love to those experiencing homelessness. Come join us !!! Link in bio to volunteer.

HUGE Thank you to Phil from @vipmortgageinc for stopping in to give us their second donation check of $5,000. Keeping our trailer on the streets providing our services is costly. Having incredible organizations like VIP Mortgage supporting our nonprofit is crucial to our nonprofit. Every dollar is greatly appreciated.

HUGE Thank you to @jacithairapy for coming out to

HUGE Thank you to @jacithairapy for coming out to provide haircuts. Jaci was able to give 15 amazing cuts. We really could use a couple@more hair professionals to help. Jaci was our only hair professional, and we had to turn people away. If you are a licensed hair professional, or if you know someone you think would want to help, PLEASE let us know !!! This makes such a huge difference in the lives of those we serve experiencing homelessness, like one of our favorites seen here, L.A., which act stands for Lower Alabama. She is so sweet and always so grateful. We need your help to do our best to show love to some people who rarely receive any love. Thank you.
