First Step

What We Need

To launch our first home, we are raising $65,000.

This covers:

• Housing
• Food
• Transportation
• Basic setup for 3 months
• A $15,000 operating buffer

Sometimes someone’s future changes
because someone decides
not to look away.

How We’re Starting/What We Will Do

We’re beginning simply — in a simple home, starting with eight young men.

A safe home with healthy food.
A place to decompress in the company of their peers.
And maybe most importantly — a safe place to sleep.

Each day will include structured healing practices like:

• Breathwork
• Emotional Freedom Technique (tapping)
• Family Constellation Work
• Trauma Release Exercise
• Neuro Linguistic Programming
• Yoga, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprogramming (EMDR) Meditation   

These are some of the staples of the program because they’re the practices that helped me heal. We’ll also have regular activities proven to build self-confidence:

• Gardening
• Cooking
• Self-care/Caring for their home
• Beekeeping and caring for their emotional support animals

• Brain exercises like Juggling
• Daily yoga/pilates because a fit body is a great foundation on which to build

When men begin to regulate their nervous systems, you start to see the shift, in their posture, their voice, their eyes. Something settles, and when it does, something else becomes possible.
