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.

This morning was joined by my Mom, Phillip, and Alan (our two employees who are currently experiencing homelessness) to work on organizing our storage unit. It is so great having people who are fully invested and will put out the effort, to help CCS in any way they can help.

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.

We are so fortunate to be able to provide much more than smiles to those experiencing homelessness. However, we tell people that the services we provide, and items we hand out, are not the most important aspect of what we do. Making a connection, showing those we help that they have value, that we care about them, and believe in them. We are all about providing hope to those who need it most. Thank you all so much for your support. Without you, none of this is possible.

Deanna was a changed woman after her shower and haircut ! Deanna was born and grew up in Montana. She was a great downhill skier, and has lived all over the country. After Deanna got her cut from Elena, I made sure to tell her how great she looked, Deanna said “I love it”, and tossed her head. It was a slow day, but Deanna made my day. Thank you to everyone who allows us to be on the streets, helping those experiencing homelessness.

This is John, he is from Philadelphia, has been in Phoenix a year and says the summers don’t bother him. John has a thick East Coast accent and when Chelsea complimented him on his accent, he told he he always loved Southern accents. John is hoping to find work as a caregiver. Today was our first time seeing John, and all the ladies at the haircut station loved him. Hope we see him again. Thank you so much to everyone who supports our nonprofit and allows us to get out and meet individuals like John, show them some kindness, compassion, and love.

This is Daniel, and he was not in good shape when we first arrived. Earlier in the morning he had been stabbed with a broken beer bottle, and left a large gash on the webbing between his thumb and his index finger on his right hand. Got him a shower, then gave him some antibacterial cream, and wrapped it up in gauze. Danny got a haircut, some BBQ chicken from BBQ Mission, and was a completely different person when he left. Told him I would bring him some new shoes next Monday. Being able to make such a huge shift in a person’s outlook, is truly incredible. Thank you all for your support and allowing us to help individuals like Daniel.

Tony’s old shoes he was wearing, next to the new Nike’s we gave him. This gentleman was out last shower of the day, and we gave him a new backpack along with the new shoes. When we were driving off, Tony was at the corner of the intersection, and he was waving like crazy at us as we left. We truly LOVE being able to hit the streets and help those experiencing homelessness. We have met so many really good people, who just happen to be on the streets. We all struggle, we all need some help from time to time. Thank you to everyone who supports our nonprofit and allows us to show love to those who need it the most.

Abraham was so happy to get a haircut and shower !

Abraham was so happy to get a haircut and shower ! Was our first time at the St. Vincent de Paul in Mesa, and it is always fun meeting new people experiencing homelessness and seeing their reactions to our trailer and the services we provide. What we do is all about building hope in those we help. Doing what we can to make them feel better and believe in themselves. Today was incredible and that smile on Abraham’s face made my day. Thank you to everyone who supports our nonprofit and allows us to keep our trailer on the streets and helping those in need.

This is Sonnie, and he is the gentleman who we mentioned was in a wheelchair and pushed by his friend Al, over four miles from the shelter where they stay, so they both could get haircuts. Both Sonnie and Al were so grateful and a joy to be around. They both were so happy to receive a professional haircut, and loved the pulled pork sandwiches they received from BBQ Mission. We are so glad Sonnie has an amazing friend like Al. We hope we get to see these gentlemen again.

Joshua’s shoes had seen better days. Was so excited to hand him a box with a new pair of Nike’s in his size. Joshua almost crashed his bike as he was leaving, because he was staring at his new shoes. There is no better feeling than going to bed, knowing that you helped make some people’s lives better. Thank you so much for your support.

This is Al, and Al pushed his buddy Sonnie, who is in a wheelchair, over four miles from the shelter they stay, so they both could get haircuts !!! They both were very excited to hear about the pulled pork sandwiches that were being served by BBQ Mission ! That is a ton of hard work that Al put in, just for haircuts. Which both were in real need of a trim. So happy we were able to help bring some happiness to Al and Sonnie. We honestly meet some really amazing humans, they just happen to currently be experiencing homelessness.

When we arrived, Randy was asleep, laying in the parking lot with no blanket or pillow. As we were finishing setting up, Randy had moved and was laying against a wall by the stylist area. Randy was all alone and no one was engaging with him. Randy sat in Elena’s chair for his cut, and still was not talking much. When it was time for his shower, I could not believe it was the same man who was laying on the ground when we arrived. Told him how amazing he looked, and all of our volunteers did the same. Later in the day, Randy was sitting at a table eating and had a group of five people sitting with him and they were all talking and laughing. The physical transformations are easy to see, but even more important are the changes that happen on the inside. Randy had been ignored for so long that he didn’t even attempt to converse with others. The best aspect of what we do, is seeing people feel good about themselves and making new connections and friends. Thank you all for your support. You give us the means to meet and help those like Randy.

Joe is one of our Monday regulars, and is always so grateful to be able to take a shower, wash his clothes, and get a haircut. Today I overheard Joe telling someone about his shoes being terrible. So I surprised him with a new pair of Nike’s, and I have never seen anyone so happy for new shoes. When he walked by me, Joe said “Man, I’m walking on pillows” Joe had a new walk, and kept on looking down at his feet as he was walking. Joe made my day. We LOVE being able to help individuals experiencing homelessness, like Joe, and be able to make their day better. Life is about bringing as much joy and positivity as you can bring, to the people around you.
