Hey everyone! I wanted to share with you about a cause that I care a lot about. People experiencing homelessness in Albuquerque endure the weather, violence and many other hardships. Without a place to call home, and often with out a hot meal, people endure the harsh reality of living on the streets everyday. Please join me in helping them by supporting HopeWorks. HopeWorks offers comprehensive services to people experiencing homelessness. From food to housing your donation will go a long way toward making a difference in someones life.

Take a moment to think about your house, your friends and family, and the food on your table. On average in Albuquerque there are 15,000 people experiencing homelessness who don’t have access to those comforts.  They need our help! Join me in supporting HopeWorks, a local non profit that provides comprehensive services for people experiencing homelessness in Albuquerque.
