Help the Homeless in State 48

“Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that” ~MLK
No better words to live by in these times, and they were our mantra this morning as we distributed Blessing Bags to over fifteen men and women in downtown Phoenix.
Thank you to all have donated... your dollars are hard at work bringing light to the homeless.

Happy Holidays everyone! Before I get into anything, I just wanted to say that the holidays are a time for us people who are more fortunate to reflect on everything we have and give back to the less fortunate. Today I learned how important that is... My siblings and I picked out two kids off the angel tree to pick out a gift for. For the next 5 days, until the 14th of December i will be collecting funds to buy gifts for MORE kids on the angel tree. 100% of the funds donated in the next 5 days will go to kids in need of a few gifts this holiday season. Take some time these holidays to reflect on how much you have, and let’s give back to the less fortunate.
Here is a link to my go fund me page..... Will you help me reach as many kids as possible!?

Happy Veterans Day! We can only hope that a few of our Blessing Bags found their way into the hands of a veteran today.... but we’re sure that every person’s day was brightened by them😊
Thank you to everyone who has donated to our cause!
Please share with anyone you think would appreciate the impact we’re trying to make... let’s Help the Homeless in’s State 48!

For Labor Day, I rounded up my family and some family friends and neighbors to do the BIGGEST blessing bag run yet!

It was a little chaotic....learning how to make the bags as an assembly line... but we got it done!

We were able to serve TWENTY SEVEN people!! Yes! 27! Can you believe it?!

On the down side... it used up a TON of the funds I’ve raised.

If you have a few spare dollars, I would absolutely ❤️ for you to donate to this wonderful movement!

Hi guys! I hope you are looking forward to this three day weekend as much as I am 😀. I’m planning on doing our third round on Monday of Blessing Bags! This round is extra special because I will be having a few very good family friends that are going to help me this time around 🤪. We are planning on reaching as many people as possible, so if you would like to donate, find the link to my go fund me in my last post. Can’t wait to post pictures so you guys can see what we have achieved 😊🥰🌵

Happy Saturday!
I bet you’re all wondering how I’m keeping track of all the wonderful donations that have come in... cash, checks, and through my go fund me page..
Well! At first it was a little messy. I kept an envelope with a running balance sheet on the front.
Then I learned that I had to have the go fund me funds directly go to a bank account. So! My mom helped me set up an account JUST for Help the Homeless money! It’s great! It keeps everything in one place, makes it simple to keep track of what’s been used and what’s left AND makes it much easier to purchase all the items we need😀😀
Check my picture on one of my last posts to see me using the debit card at 🎯 Target!
And in case you missed it... here’s the link to my GoFundMe... I sure would appreciate your support for the next round of Blessing Bags coming soon!!

I am 11 years old, but do not under estimate me. I love helping my community. I mean love. I have seen that over the years that more and more people are becoming homeless, and it hurts my heart. So I want to do something that will affect my community. I decided to raise money for a good cause. Also....

Hi there!
Thank you all for following this page! My mom will be overseeing it, but I (Riley) will be in charge of sharing my journey with you all!
I have done two rounds of Blessing Bags so far, and have been able to help over 28 people in need (and some pets!) in my community.
I cannot wait to see where this takes me, and how many people and pets I can help along the way!
Every little bit helps... here is a link to my go fund me page, I appreciate every single donation!
