I joined Billy Harfosh in the iHeartRadio studio to talk on 99.9 KEZ about homelessness in AZ, mental health, my poetry, and how the key to progression is togetherness and actively working to take care of each other. Check out our conversation below ❤️ spreaker.com/user/9808573/a…

During our heat relief efforts today, my friend Mike had a seizure & heat stroke. It was very scary. This is truly a crisis & it’s VITAL that we take emergency action for our community! People are dying in our state EVERY DAY from this heat. Share water. Check on folks. Plz ❤️

My team and I are working on how we can possibly create the Hugs House, a crisis respite shelter. We need your help! Please give this message a read. DM me if you’re interested in volunteering or if you have any ideas for this project. Please share. It’s all about the love! ❤️

Do you have any of these clothes or toys that you’d like to donate? We are working this morning to make sure Marisa and her 5 year old child get into somewhere safe, and we’d love to make sure her son has some of his favorite toys too! Thank you ❤️ AZ Hugs For the Houseless

Took all week, but Marisa & her 5 yr old, fleeing a DV situation, are now moved in to the safe house we found placement for them at! We made the 2 hr drive to the house last night. I’ve become pretty close with this family & I’m so happy they’re ok now ❤️It’s all about the love!

(1/2) I just got a call from a family with 2 infants who have been sleeping in their car. I’m on my way to help this family now. We aim to get them a hotel room until space opens up at an emergency family shelter. These are the items this family has requested. DM to donate!

I’ve known Rae and her 7 year old son for a long time. We’ve connected them with resources & supported them over the years and they’re safe in a family shelter right now. Rae painted this beautiful piece of art for me! It’s her first painting in 30 years and I’m very honored ❤️

We connected Tif & her 2 little kids to shelter services a while back. At our weekly Sunday Family Picnic for those experiencing homelessness tonight, her family dressed up as the Scooby Doo gang. They brought me a sweater & ascot & asked me to be Fred. So fun! 🎃❤️
