3/1 UPDATE 🎉 We Did It! Thanks to our incredible supporters, we’ve reached our $3,000 goal—but our work isn’t done! Every dollar raised beyond this will go directly toward housing those in need. Let’s see how far we can go together! 💙

Spirit & Sand is changing lives by helping people transition from homelessness to stable housing, but more than that, helping them become stakeholders in their own communities. We need our first 50 donors to launch this movement and ensure more people find stability and peace. Will you be one of them?”

Every dollar you give helps someone take a critical step toward stable housing. Here’s what your support can do:

🚍 $10 – Buys ten bus rides for transportation to work, apartment showings, and appointments.
🧼 $25 – Provides a hygiene kit with essentials for someone transitioning out of homelessness.
📑 $50 – Covers a rental application fee, a crucial step in securing housing.
🏡 $100 – Contributes toward move-in costs, helping someone settle into their new home.
🛋 $250 – Helps a family furnish their home with basic necessities.
🔑 $500 – Covers a security deposit, removing a key barrier to housing access.
📆 $1,000 – Funds long-term housing support services, ensuring stability beyond move-in day.

Every donation, big or small, brings someone closer to home.

Why Donate? Read Jazmin's Story:

"At the beginning of my pregnancy, I had no idea what my next steps in life were—except that I was having a baby and needed to provide a stable life for her. I didn’t know how I was going to do it, as I could barely provide for myself at the time. Spirit & Sand not only helped me secure stable housing but also connected me with an incredible support system. They guided me through things I hadn’t learned yet, like county paperwork, and provided resources beyond what I even knew to ask for.

Within six months, I had a furnished home, a car, financial stability, everything I needed, and more—when my daughter came into this world. I don’t know where I would be right now without their help."

A Little About Us:

At Spirit & Sand, we understand the true challenge of human services work. All you want to do is help, and all people want--and need--is help. Yet, the systems designed to provide that support often seem impossible to navigate. Barriers are high. People feel hopeless. Workers are burnt out.

Too often, the reality is this: no accountability, minimal protections for staff, little meaningful client engagement, and a heavy weight of guilt despite everyone's good intentions.

And so, Spirit & Sand was born.

Today, we are a small but dedicated team, supported by a passionate board, working to do better. We've already helped 30% of our clients achieve stable housing, and we're just getting started. At Spirit & Sand, we believe that with accountability, compassion, and true community collaboration, we can break down barriers and create meaningful, lasting solutions. Together, we are redefining what it means to make a difference.
