Need a charity to donate to?

There are so many awesome charities out there that are very worthy of our support.  I suggest you research and find charities that resonate with you and donate time and or money when possible.  


La Casa De La Madres is a charity in San Francisco that inspires me. In English, translated to the house of the mothers, this organization provides women and families dealing with domestic violence with resources such as shelter and support. They have a 24/7 hotline available to call or text if needed.


Funds donated to this organization goes towards food, employees salaries and also additional programs and resources like workshops and other must haves. There is a lovely play room and outdoor area for kids that could use some updating. 


The residential housing provided is a safe and secure place for families to come to get their life together. The residents have weekly chores and responsibilities to help the house run smoothly. This helps the moms feel like they have a sense or purpose and can contribute to the household.  


The mental health support is crucial and at times the counselors are so overbooked that they don’t get to help as many families as closely as they would like. Many of the women that come here have fled bad situations and need to feel safe and feel like they are important and valued. Many times they come from toxic relationships that are controlling and very manipulating.  La Casa has counselors for both moms and their kids too. 


This organization has been around since the 70s and has been extremely helpful to the community by helping these moms get back on their feet. They assist with looking for permanent housing and employment and help with getting on general assistance and food stamps.  They also can connect families with legal aid to ask questions for the next steps. 


For my birthday this year, I was honored to raise funds to support this organization. Here’s a link to donate if you feel so moved: https://www.lacasa.org/donate


I know each dollar will be used to help the families in the community that are hurting and so desperately need it.  




My Story

 

Ever since I was a young child, I was always very moody.  Considered ultra sensitive, my anxiety was always through the roof.  As a young adult I got therapy and took prescription drugs which I thought would help.  I even had an as needed anxiety medication I had a panic attack.to keep on me just in case. I just wanted to feel like myself again.I tried different medication and therapists, hypnotherapy, whatever I could find.  When I found out I was pregnant with my son, I decided to stop all medications, even down to over the counter to protect my baby. I liked not taking a bunch of pills daily but I didn’t feel like I was getting any better.  Everyday I put on a face so everyone around me would believe everything was okay when I knew I clearly wasn’t. 


I always clung to a Higher Power for protection and guidance and my faith carried me through many years of uncertainty and very high stress. I was unhappy in my relationships, my job, and more. I felt like my whole life needed a makeover but I had no idea where to even start. One day this lady came into the store where I worked and she shared a new way of thinking.


Now I’m so much happier and feel a million times better overall. My faith in the Universe/Higher Power/God/Spirit grows more and more each day.I am working on my health and wellness and my life has changed drastically. I gained confidence in myself to leave bad relationships, left a job and found a better one (or two).  Most of all I see my dream life vision coming together slowly, yet surely. I’m so excited to help others do the same.I have an amazing support group of awesome women all working together to achieve our dreams. I see that the power of positivity and love is contagious and I’m happy I can share that with the world.  Of course I still have ups and downs but now I have tools to help myself and others that can relate.


Come join our group of amazing ladies all working together to build our dreams in a loving and high vibe atmosphere.
