Every time I come to Skid Row, I’m reminded that homelessness does not have one face.

Young people. Older people. Men. Women. Different races, different backgrounds, different stories. When you actually spend time out here, you realize how incomplete the picture we’re often shown really is.

But there’s another part people don’t see.

We can feed hundreds of people, run completely out of food, start packing up…and more people are still walking up asking if there’s anything left.

That part hurts.

Because you have to look someone in the eye and tell them, “I’m sorry, we ran out.”

We’ll keep showing up. We’ll keep bringing what we can. We’ll keep loving people and reminding them that they haven’t been forgotten.

But we need help.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your donation, your time, or your support actually matters, it does. There is always another person coming around that corner who is hoping there will still be a meal waiting for them.

Help us make sure next time there is.

Operation 138 took us to Van Nuys, where a neighborhood had been asking for help for a long time.

There were more than 20 people living outside, multiple dogs, a lot of debris, and a lot of moving parts that had to come together to resolve the area the right way.

By the end of the operation, more than 20 people came off the streets and moved into safe interim housing.

That is what matters most.

The community got relief, but the people living outside were not simply pushed somewhere else. They were brought inside, connected to services, and given a safer place to begin working toward what comes next.

This operation took coordination, patience, outreach, animal support, sanitation, transportation, housing providers, and city departments all working together.

Shout out to the Mayor’s Inside Safe team and every city partner who helped make it happen.

The goal is never just to clear a sidewalk.

The goal is to help people and restore the community at the same time.

People ask me why we keep coming back to Skid Row.

The answer is simple. We want people to know they are still loved.

Every time we come down here, we feed a minimum of 300 people. But the food is really just the beginning. It gives us an opportunity to talk to people, build relationships, find out what they need, and let them know somebody still sees them.

And when somebody tells me they are ready to come inside, I try to use every relationship and every resource I have to help make that happen.

B.A.R.E. is a service provider for Mayor Karen Bass’s Inside Safe program, so sometimes people are brought into one of our sites. Other times, we work to connect them with another Inside Safe provider or another program somewhere in the city that has the right opportunity for them.

That is why we keep showing up.

Sometimes a plate of food turns into a conversation. Sometimes that conversation turns into trust. And sometimes that trust is what finally gets somebody off the street.

Some moments hit different.

Hilda was once living on the streets. We were able to bring her into one of our interim housing sites, and from there, our team worked with her toward the goal of permanent housing.

But the truth is, Hilda worked just as hard.

She showed up. She stayed focused. She did what was asked of her. She kept pushing even when the process was frustrating.

Now she’s standing in front of her new apartment building in tears, thanking our staff.

And honestly, these are the moments that keep our team going.

Because this work is not about doing everything for someone. It’s about walking beside them while they do the work to change their own life.

Today, Hilda has a place to call home.

She earned this moment, and we’re proud of her.

Getting things set up for our back to school event.

Our team had a great time helping Big Sunday prepare backpacks for their annual backpack giveaway.

It was good to step away from our regular work, give back alongside another organization, and have some fun while doing it. We were also blessed with backpacks for our own Backpack to Success event happening this weekend.

This is what community is supposed to look like organizations supporting one another so more children can start the school year prepared and excited.

Thank you to Big Sunday for having us and for helping us show up for even more students this weekend. 🎒📚❤️

President Kennedy once said, “The sun doesn’t always shine in West Virginia, but the people always do.” Today, Cowen proved him right.

Tucked away in central West Virginia is the small town of Cowen, a town unlike any other. A town that shows up for their friends, their family, and even complete strangers. Today, Eric Cadle, Robin Cutlip, and Rick Cutlip held a BBQ fundraiser to support the community hub we’re building right here in Cowen, and the turnout was nothing short of heartwarming.

Hearing about the people who came out, grabbed a plate, and supported what we’re trying to do reminds me exactly why this work matters. But we can’t stop here. We have to keep doing the work to make sure the people of this region are never forgotten.

Every trip, every conversation, every plate of BBQ makes West Virginia feel more like a second home. That’s a credit to how welcoming this community has been to BARE from day one.

Big things are coming to West Virginia. Stay tuned.

Come on out and get some BBQ and support the BARE community hub!

I didn’t come to Ai4 because I want to chase the latest technology. I came because I want to build better solutions for the people we serve.

Every day my team works with people experiencing homelessness, poverty, mental illness, addiction, and trauma. If AI can help us make better decisions, reduce paperwork, find housing faster, write stronger grants, predict needs before they become crises, or simply give my staff more time to spend with people instead of computers… then I need to understand it.

The organizations that learn to use AI the right way won’t replace compassion. They’ll amplify it.

My goal isn’t to become an AI expert. My goal is to become a better leader by using every tool available to help more people, more efficiently, and at a greater scale.

The future belongs to organizations willing to learn, adapt, and never stop improving.

I’m here to listen, ask questions, challenge my thinking, and bring those lessons back to B.A.R.E.

Because if technology can help us change more lives, then it’s worth learning.

We met this young mother during an Inside Safe operation in Koreatown.

She was living in a makeshift shack with her boyfriend and their three-year-old daughter. She told us how difficult it had been to find housing as an immigrant and how becoming a mother changed the direction of her life.

She said that after having her daughter, she stopped using drugs because she wanted something better for her child.

That stayed with me.

People love to say that someone has to want to change. Here was a young woman trying to change while raising a toddler on the streets, with almost no support and nowhere safe to go.

We found this family that day, and we brought them inside that same day.

They did not need judgment. They needed someone to see their effort, believe in them, and give them a real opportunity to move forward.

Sometimes love for your child is the reason you survive long enough to begin again.
