We make a living by what we get . . .
but we make a life by what we give.

Johnny Apodaca & Janelle Gistelli
Living in Seaside, we see the effects of homelessness, especially with local homeless women, every day as we drive down Fremont Avenue on our way to work.
After years of wanting to ‘do something’ to help, we chose the Fund For Homeless Women. We had already done some small donations through Community Foundation of Monterey, but wanted to do more.
For Johnny & I, making the decision to commit to a monthly donation was a no brainer. It is a way for us to do as much as we can over the whole year.
We feel so good about this choice, and hope that we can inspire others to do the same, at what ever level they are comfortable with.
We think that in these days of uncertainty, a little help can go a long way to generate hope.

What the Fund has accomplished is unique and truly remarkable. No other entity has had the vision and tenacity to articulate the problem & then seek partners for solutions.

Our homeless siblings in the state of California are of various backgrounds and needs. They all require the loving care and touch of their community. Women living of the streets are in greater risk and generally receive less services. May we be good neighbors to our homeless friends who dwell among us, creating a healthier community for all.

Life is a spectacular production in which every girl is born to dance. Some are princesses in gossamer ball gowns who waltz in the arms of their beloved partners. Others are freestyle artists trying new dances, like reggae or ballet or cha cha cha. Many are line dancers marching solo like soldiers. Me? I tap dance and invite all my sisters to join my March for Life. The Fund for Homeless Women beats our parade’s drum. Join me? Break a leg, girls. Break a leg!

When we started the Pacific Grove Homeless Challenge Grant, we found that women are an underserved group. They stay invisible to stay safe. That is why we focused the money we raised from cities on the Peninsula to help homeless women support groups – and why I personally continue to do so.
