Project Details
My name is Katrina Carpenter and I am the founder of Jean's Angels, we are a nonprofit, 501 (C)(3) organization whose mission is to inspire and put God's love into action. I am writing you in hopes of sponsorship from your company. Your sponsorship can help share light on our mission to make a difference in someone's life everyday.
For the past six years, Jean's Angels has provided a variety of services in the Berkeley, Dorchester and Charleston county community, which has helped families in need. Services provided include: counseling, tutoring, hot meals, assistance with school clothes and supplies, Christmas gifts for our angel tree, quarterly visit at the nursing home and yearly Disney Scholar's trip for kids in the community.
It's hard to except, but most of us are just one tragedy away from losing everything. Homeless Americans' stories are incredibly varied: no two are alike, and there's most certainly at least one story you can relate to.
The thing about homelessness that many people don't grasp is that 's incredibly hard to escape: for example, even if you were in line for a job that could help you get back on your feet, employees often won't hire someone who can't provide a valid home address.
Jean's Angels is hard at work and dedicated to helping to prevent homelessness, and help people escape it. They are so many families, senior citizens, and homeless people that are in need of support, love and encouragement. Throughout all of the ups and downs, one thing remains certain: when we stand together, even the smallest actions can make a big difference. That's why jeans angels goal is to make a difference in someone's life every day, and with your support we can!
Jean’s Angels' mission is to purchase a mobile shower comb W/D trailer because we believe access to cleanliness is a fundamental human right.
Americans experiencing homelessness lack access to everyday necessities and services — including showers and clean clothes. This makes it all too easy for them to be “othered”, rejected, and unseen by society, compromising their sense of dignity and their chance to feel included in the community.
We believe no one should be denied access to cleanliness. Free showers should be made accessible to those living on the streets - because one shower can contribute to improving health & well-being and restoring one’s dignity in their community.
Right now, 550,000 people are experiencing homelessness and have limited or no access to the everyday services many of us take for granted, including a shower and clean clothes.
We’re working to fix that.
We are working to purchase a 2 shower/ WD room trailer to help provide showers and clean clothes to the homeless. Your support is needed to make a difference in someone's life.
