Cane Cares Spearheads The Fight Against Homelessness

Following Cane Cares’ $10,000 donation to People Assisting the Homeless, stories of our incredible impact are pouring in. In January alone, we helped house four chronically homeless people, including a 74-year-old woman who had been unsheltered for 30 years.

PATH’s Outreach Program Manager, Brice Michalek shared this moving story: “In May 2022, our Outreach team encountered a 74-year-old woman who had been living unsheltered for three decades, facing physical disabilities, substance abuse, and mental health struggles. Despite initial reluctance to outreach services, our Outreach team persisted, building rapport over weeks until she accepted services.

“Finally, on 1/12/24, the client secured housing in a senior living apartment, thanks to the persistent efforts and advocation of the Outreach PATH team. Utilizing Cane Cares funds, her new home was furnished with a full-sized bed, a couch, a dining room table, and a dresser. …[T]he collaboration of good people ensured this client beat the odds and now enjoys a secure and comfortable forever home.”

We’re so proud to be able to help people who’ve been struggling for years get their lives back again. And since only 43% of our donation has been spent so far, there are certain to be further inspiring stories to come. Stay tuned!

Last year, we held our our 1st Annual Cane Cares Golf Tournament and were able to raise over $17,000 at the event. With the money raised, we were able to approve a grant that will help to provide housing to a father and his two-year-old daughter from Guatemala who came to the US seeking asylum. Fleeing poverty, extortion from a local cartel, and an ineffective government, together father and daughter traversed 3,000 miles, often by foot, to come to our country.  After crossing, the single dad was placed in numerous detention centers including 8 months in a Nevada prison solely because he was seeking asylum.  During that time, his daughter suffered growth and speech delays. Somehow they endured and were reunited when she was 19 months.  Now they are working hard, assimilating, and enjoying life in sunny San Diego.

Mia Visits Mission Hills Post Acute Care – January, 2021

This Martin Luther King Day our founder’s daughter, Mia, came up with an idea for giving back all on her own. She got to work writing sweet notes to the patients at Mission Hills Post Acute Care, letting them know that they are loved and  that they are not alone. Mia found it fascinating that so many of these patients were alive to witness MLK’s early days as a social activist. They saw him become a leader of the Civil Rights movement and witnessed firsthand the hero that he became and the incredible legacy that he would leave behind.  “You must have such great memories of him,” Mia wrote in her notes. Thanks to Mia’s love letters, the patients at Mission Hills Post Acute Care were able to feel much less alone, as they too reflected on Martin Luther King Day.
