Mission Statement

As a full-time paramedic, I see the gaps in our system every single day. I meet people not just on their worst medical days, but on their hardest life days — struggling with mental health, homelessness, lack of support, and nowhere to turn after we clear the call.
That’s why I founded Project Ring.
Project Ring is a grassroots outreach initiative I started to bridge that gap between emergency care and real-life support. We don’t just raise awareness — we show up in person with tangible help. Through street outreach, partnerships with local nonprofits like Project Kind, and community events, we distribute resource cards, hygiene supplies, clothing, food, and essentials that help restore dignity and stability.
We fund this work by selling handmade beaded bracelets and through community donations. Every dollar goes directly back into outreach — helping provide things like housing assistance, warm clothing, haircuts, interview outfits, meals, and everyday necessities people need to get back on their feet.
At larger events like Worthy of Love, we serve hundreds of individuals at a time, connecting them with resources, support services, and real human connection. My long-term mission is to work even more closely with individuals facing mental health challenges that impact employment — helping them access therapy, medication, insurance, and the support systems they need to break the cycle that often leads to homelessness.
Project Ring is built on one simple belief:
No one should feel invisible or fight their battles alone.
Through compassion, action, and community, we’re creating real change — one person at a time.
