Hi, I'm Kary, an ordinary US citizen lending a helping hand to our homeless.

A Little About Me

​Homelessness has risen to epidemic proportions in the United States. There are simply not enough beds to meet the current needs. And, even if there were, a certain number of these lost individuals will not go to shelters or accept help because they have drug addictions or suffer from mental illness.

In January of 2020, I founded a nonprofit, Kary's Helping Hand, because I saw an urgent problem on San Diego's streets. There is huge gap between our state and federally-funded shelters and programs for the homeless. The basic needs of this vulnerable population living on our streets are simply not being meet. I could not idly stand by and watch them suffer. I took action and with kindhearted neighbors, friends and local businesses, we are doing what we can to help.

Life on the Streets

San Diego has been stuck on Band-Aids. Much time and money has been spent on encampment sweeps and criminalizing homelessness instead of housing, substance use services and mental health care.
