The Cause: Walking with Purpose

​This journey isn’t just about miles — it’s about meaning. Without purpose, we're simply walking to walk — and I've done plenty of that in my life. From traveling across 48 U.S. states to exploring 29 states of Mexico, I've seen homelessness firsthand. I've met faces behind the statistics, people burdened not just by poverty, but by something far deeper — a loss of self-worth and love for oneself.We’re constantly told that homelessness is a worldwide issue, yet the solutions we’re offered — money, food, temporary housing — often fall short. While these efforts come from good intentions, they rarely address the true root of the problem.The hard truth is that money isn’t the solution — not on its own. The real change comes from helping individuals rebuild their sense of purpose, dignity, and most importantly, self-love. Without that, no amount of financial aid or resources will break the cycle.This journey — this 3,000-mile trek — is about raising awareness for that truth. It's about showing that what people truly need is connection, support, and the tools to rediscover their inner strength.I believe that when people learn to love themselves, they can begin to heal. And when they heal, they can build a life of meaning — a life they can call their own.This journey is a call to action — not just to give, but to truly see those experiencing homelessness. To understand that sometimes, what they need most isn’t charity — it’s compassion, conversation, and a reminder that they are worthy of love.Because everyone deserves a place to call home — and home starts within.
