Liddo Grannies is here to help our community one step at a time, touching different problems that our communities are getting people back on their feet to be successful in life. Our first main focus is the overwhelming condition of homelessness, hunger and healthcare. I'm now reaching to those who have the willingness and an interest to be a part of Liddo Grannies mission in tackling this issue that our communities greatly face. It would be greatly appreciated if you considered sponsoring my non-profit program. Liddo Grannies is seeking donations, grants and funds we could utilize for the sole purpose of helping those in need by providing support, training and supervision. Our transitional housing is a safe living space for those in need to come take advantage of our wrap around services which include but not limited to the end of homelessness, basic life skills and hygiene, health care, on the job training, job leads for those on parole, on and offsite educational programs and help with getting help from state income programs such as the pilot program that helps our clients by paying a portion of their rent, GR helps with food medical and transportation for important appointments. If we can't help an individual we will go out of our way to find a resource that can.

Describe how Los Angeles County will be different if your work is successful.

These items I requested are to structure and help our clients transition onto a better promising life on their own and sharing their experiences with others who have suffered the trauma of poverty in our cities of Los Angeles County. We want our clients to learn the importance of living independently on their own so by participating in shopping for themselves, cooking for themselves, cleaning up after themselves, indulging in personal hygiene and learning all around life skills will help our clients transition into a responsible person when they venture out into society on their own. I hope my mission can be captured by the eye and heart of so many who share the same purpose and vision I have by making moves "WITH A PURPOSE FOR A PURPOSE ON PURPOSE" Simply because we have enough courage and faith to help and believe in others.
