Happy Mother’s Day to all the incredible Mom’s

Happy Mother’s Day to all the incredible Mom’s who do their best to make this world a better place. Cloud Covered Streets would never have been created if I didn’t have the kindest, most caring, and forgiving Mom. She inspires me to want to be a better person. I am so ridiculously fortunate to have Lucy Lynn Thornton as my Mom.

Today was AMAZING !!! Our volunteers were absolute

Today was AMAZING !!! Our volunteers were absolute ROCK STARS. All day I would look over at the tables and saw our volunteers having genuine conversations, and making real connections with those we serve who are experiencing homelessness. THAT is the most important aspect of what we do. The showers, laundry, haircuts, clothing, food, and supplies are secondary to making connections with those we serve. Everyone we saw today was so happy and so grateful. Saw multiple people giving fist bumps to Eric, the security guard at this location. Such an awesome day, and thank you to everyone who supports our nonprofit and allows us to hit the streets and help those in need.

PLEASE do not send us messages like this !!!!
For those who have not been following this story, we were on the news April 23rd, and we featured Phillip, one of our employees who is currently experiencing homelessness. We wanted to feature him and try and get some potential jobs lined up. Phillip’s family saw the segment, contacted us, and began leaving comments on every post we made, asking us to have Phillip contact them. I informed them that I would pass along the info to Phillip the next time I saw him, but that I was out of town for the next week. While gone, I tried texting the number I had for Phillip, but was getting no response. Found out later that number had been turned off. Phillip’s girlfriend sent us a text and we informed her that Phillip’s family was looking for him. Each post we created after the news segment would get comments from Phillip’s family asking us to have him contact them. So many that I eventually started deleting them. I informed the family that I would not see Phillip until Wednesday. On Monday I had our team leader show Phillip the social media posts by his family, since I would not be at the location. Yesterday morning I saw Phillip and gave him all the contact info. HOWEVER, I will never make someone contact another person. I have ZERO clue about the dynamic of this family, or the reason they lost contact.
Then I receive this message and feel it is necessary to make it public that Phillip has all his families contact info. Phillip has family in Phoenix, and if they wanted to see him, all they would need to do is show up to the location we have the trailer, and they can see him in person. This person has ZERO clue that Phillip has all their info, yet felt the need to send this message.
ALSO, how are we “In it for the publicity” ? Is anyone on our team trying to become famous helping those in need ? NOPE ! Is anyone getting rich in our organization from helping those in need ? NOPE
I wish people would really spent their time and energy focusing on themselves, and not making assumptions and sending absurd messages. Thank you to everyone who supports our work and understands why we do what we do, and why we do it.

Jane and Mike came by again with 40 amazing sack lunches ! This couple is so incredible and LOVE the notes they write on each bag. We are so fortunate to have some truly incredible people supporting what we do.

We hadn’t seen Robert in a couple of months, and all our regular volunteers were so happy when he showed up, along with his dog, the sweetest dog and she just naps under our truck in the shade. Robert LOVES to talk, and he will make the rounds chatting up all our volunteers and all his friends. Robert was wearing some very worn down shoes, and as you can tell, he was very happy to have a new pair of Nike’s on his feet. We LOVE these communities we are building in the areas we park our trailer. When we park our trailer, our friends experiencing homelessness know they have a safe place to relax. A place where they will be treated with respect and shown kindness. Thank you all so much for your support, and we cannot wait to get back on the streets tomorrow.

ONE WEEK OFF

Hello friends, we are taking this week off. We decided that every three months we would shut down operations for one week. Give everyone a week to decompress and charge their batteries. When you see so many people suffering, in a daily basis, you need to take some time away, or you will start to feel defeated and struggling with your sanity. But we will be right back at it next Monday, showering the streets with love. Thank you all for your support.

Libiere is a regular at Grace Lutheran Church, and is one of our favorites. Very quiet and has a very small circle he spends time with. Libiere was squeezing his feet into 9.5 shoes, but he wears size 11. So we gave him a new pair of Nike’s, and he was ecstatic. Love being able to improve someone else’s day.

Kamia made the original post on a Facebook group page for the city of Mesa. Brittany and Cyndi let her know about our trailer. Kamia and her husband Mauricio made it to our trailer. Both took showers, Mauricio also got a great haircut, and it made us so happy to see Kamia’s comment after seeing us, “Had the best shower in my life.” Made sure to load them up with supplies, as Kamia starts her new job on Monday. THIS is why we work hard to be able to keep our trailer on the streets, helping those experiencing homelessness.

The other day we were at a new location, and it was very slow as can happen at new locations. So our awesome stylist @jaimie_petty_of_one_ got in her car and drove until she found Robert and brought him back to us. With it about to get very hot in Phoenix, Robert asked Jaimie to get rid of all the hair. Robert had his little dog with him, so we put both of them in the ADA shower in the back of our trailer. When Robert got out, he mentioned it had been at least a couple of weeks since he had a shower. He asked for a business card so he could make sure he could find out our upcoming locations. Then Jaimie gave Robert a ride back to where she picked him up. The Volunteers are the strength of our nonprofit. I am continually blown away at the kindness, compassion, and love they show to those experiencing homelessness. We are so grateful, and hope to have some of you join us. Have an amazing day.

LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION

We really need your help in finding locations to park our mobile shower/laundry trailer and offer our set to those experiencing homelessness. The location needs to be private property, and we need to be able to see 30-50 people in need of our services. PLEASE let us know if you have any good ideas. We never imagined it would be so difficult to find good spots. Have sent emails to over 70 churches in the valley, and less than 10 percent even respondent. Hoping our fans can come through and find us some good spots. Thank you all so much.

A couple of days ago was at an off ramp and saw Chad wearing some beat up shoes. Handed him a box of Nike’s as the light turned green. Saw him again today and handed him a bag full of supplies, and that is what Chad is looking through. It is always fun to have supplies in the truck to hand out to those we see on days when we don’t have the trailer with us. We are so grateful for your support. If you would like to help, please click on the link in our bio. Thank you very much.
