Hello - Let's Step Up for YIGBY & UPLIFT San Diego!
We rise by lifting others ♥ Kindness changes the world
Thank you for joining my efforts to raise funds for two of my favorite nonprofits in San Diego! YIGBY Faith Community Housing and UPLIFT exist to make transformative impact in the lives of San Diego's vulnerable populations. I believe in both organizations wholeheartedly. I serve as the Faith Community Outreach Lead for YIGBY & Board Member for UPLIFT. More importantly, I have witnessed with my own eyes and heart the incredible impact that UPLIFT has on the lives of those served and the potential of YIGBY to address our housing crisis. Here is more info and links to their websites so you can learn more:
