In one week, we have raised 30 sinks for our “Love Sinks In” campaign. Our goal is to install 100 sinks around the city.

Could you help us make this happen? 

It costs about $100 dollars to assemble this important station. This could literally save lives.

Our work with this campaign will not be finished until we have successfully installed wash stations in the highest homeless traffic areas across this nation. I always say, service isn’t an event; it’s a lifestyle.

So, there is still much work to be done. We are challenging mayors and cities to help us address an invisible population.

What we are doing now, is giving homeless people access to soap and water; which is a basic human right. We hope to have 10 cities agree to join us in this initiative in the next 45 days.

Over the next 2-3 months, we plan to raise more and keep planting sinks to give people experiencing homelessness protection.

Check out the video below of how this all started!

Meet Cowboy Don.

He lost his job five years ago after he got an infection in one of his eyes that he was unable afford medical treatment for. He lost his eye and his job and has been homeless ever since. Don spends his days drawing pieces of art and selling them on the street corner. Every single day he has to raise $60 dollars to stay in a hotel room. We asked him what happens if he can’t raise the $60. “Well sometimes they’ll work with me. Other times I just sleep behind the gas station.”

We’re taking steps with Cowboy Don. The past couple of weeks we’ve been walking alongside Cowboy while learning about his story and needs. This morning we were able to partner with @lizalucaslive and @11alive to tell Cowboy’s story to a larger audience. Cowboy Don is excited about some things we’ve been planning with him. One of our immediate goals is to allow him to take a couple days off so he doesn’t have to sell art every single day in order to survive.

We can’t wait to share more about this with all of you! Thanks to everyone who has reached out about Cowboy Don. He is truly touched by your support.

This past week, we got an opportunity of designing a day of professional development for 30 Chick-Fil-A engineers to understand homelessness and poverty in our world.

We were honored to serve with an organization like Chick-Fil-A and these engineers and through our Dignity Museum.

It means so much to teach, educate, and mobilize people from all walks of life to “see” and love those on the margins of society.

Thanks Chick-Fil-A!

Last week’s launch of “I See You: How Love Opens Our Eyes to Invisible People” at Barnes & Noble was a huge success!

Here are a few pics of the Launch Day book-signing event, it was a great time!

Thank you to those of you who pre-ordered and supported our story. We’re excited about teaching people what it means to see dignity in others.
