The work we do at HandUp is not possible without your support. This fund will help Lighthouse cover operating expenses so we can continue providing HandUp services to non-profits and their clients around the nation.
Your contribution to this fund is tax-deductible through South Oakland Shelter (EIN: 38-2847849).
Your support to HandUp operations makes all of our impact possible. It allows us to continue helping people in need like these members:
“I used all of the donations over the last several months to buy food because I didn’t have any money left over after I paid my rent. You saved my life! I’m soon moving where I will pay less rent and be able to buy my own food. I appreciate all the help you have given me and will never forget your kindness & generosity when I needed it most.”
- Ling, Cancer & Domestic Violence Survivor
“I wanted to say thank you for helping me to get my life back. I am forever grateful to you and Team HandUp! Because of your encouraging me to sign on, I am shooting again! I am no longer homeless and am gainfully employed, also I have had a few paying photoshoots! God Bless you!”
- Eric, Photographer
“I would like to thank you for your continued support. It has helped me get to the point where I am now. It has taken over two and half years to find a safe and affordable place to live. Your encouragement and generosity has been invaluable in motivating me to work toward making a better life for myself.”
- Lesley, Formerly Homeless
There are hundreds of other members just like Ling, Eric, and Lesley - consider supporting us so we can continue supporting them!
I am able to get my children into day care, thank you so much
