Our organization was founded in 2014 to provide warm food, hygiene supplies, clean clothing and other basic necessities to those living on the streets. We work relentlessly and encourage members of the community to donate or volunteer in any way they can. MISSION ECHO aims to restore faith in humanity by just lending a helping hand.
After surviving a gang member lifestyle, twenty four years of addiction, and five prison terms I finally realized something had to change.I had my first glance at a clean and positive life in 1995 after returning to my prison cell from a motivational group session, or it could have been church I just don't remember.
Little did I know that God had a plan for me. I didn't survive my past, God allowed me to survive it. And that’s when I knew there was life after the barrio for me.
After graduating in 2014 with a Master's Degree in Forensic Psychology, I was employed in the mental health field working hands on with the homeless population. I quickly saw the need and took the opportunity to give back to a community of lost, forgotten and hopeless people.
Completely unexperienced on operating a nonprofit I took up the task that has now turned into nine years of feeding the homeless wholeheartedly with the support of my family, friends and volunteers. The name of our organization was born in that prison cell in 1995. I had no idea that it would actually manifest.
Living on the streets for a short time. I saw firsthand the suffering at a level that I did not think possible for humans. I am now thirteen years clean, and I will NOT forget those still lost to addiction, alcoholism, untreated mental health issues or just dealing with a run of bad luck in life. God gave me another chance, and I would like to pass that on to others.
