A note from our outreach family
We’re a small group of people that work under the bridge and on the streets of New Orleans.
Several of us doing this work are also currently houseless or without consistent income.
What we do?
We make community with our houseless friends and ask them what they need to move more comfortably through our city.
Magic Tuesdays
““This is the best. I feel so relaxed””
"This is the best. I feel so relaxed" remarks Lucent, who has been on the street for over a year. Every Tuesday, we take about 15 of our family members into nature. Away from the intense experience under the bridge. We share our stories, talk about challenges and potential solutions, cook a meal together and spend time in nature. Its on Tuesdays that we create a much deeper connection with each other. We brainstorm short and long term solutions to challenges of being the street and poverty.
The Long Road to our Dream
Our dream is to create an accessible community for all but one that is designed from the ground up to ensure it is accessible and sustainable for people who find themselves in the cycle of poverty. We imagine a nice nature based campground/RV park/resort. Simple but beautiful full with the bounties of nature. We imagine us living in a way that is life affirming. A place where everyone has the capacity to live a good quality of life with simple but modern housing, utilities, transportation, food and wellness all included. interested?
While we dream in color, Kula is providing us a way to continue to make our dream come alive today!
Your Donation
They say that one remembers less what you did and much more how you made them feel. We hope to do both!
Our goal is to raise $12,000. This will help us to continue for an entire year!!
Your donation will make this dream come true. We hope to use it in the best way possible with much care and love.
If you are in town, please come and visit us one day under the bridge or out in nature. We would love to see you.
