Giving Back

---

Here's the condensed version  of "why".  I did some deep soul searching and realized that with the time I have left  on this planet, I want to spend it helping  others feel better and live a more productive life.  The tools I have learned through my trainings have been life-changers for me.  It's so easy and attainable.  I only wish I would have discovered this a couple of decades ago. My goal is to share these simple tools with as many people as possible .

I want to help others.  Empower and coach youth and adults to live a life of happiness and success.  I have scholarship and sliding scale sessions for those in need.  As long as you are sincere and committed, I will do my best to coach you to success and happiness.

According to the USDA, more than 11 million children in the United  States live in "food insecure" homes. That phrase may sound mild, but it  means that those households don't have enough food for every family  member to lead a healthy life.

And that number dates from before the coronavirus pandemic. Today, projections show that 18 million children could face hunger this year. The are the most up-to-date figures, but we know that the coronavirus has had a devastating impact on the American economy and the reality is that far more Americans - including children - are facing hunger and poverty today.  www.nokidhungry.org

I am so excited to be coaching at Coach Art.  Coach Art helps children living with chronic illness by pairing them with a coach once a week to mentor them in art, music, dance and more.  Frequent hospital visits and deficient immune systems  often cause them to miss time in school and recreational activities.  Families, overwhelmed by the cost and demands of ongoing medical care,  often lack the resources to seek out or afford extracurricular  activities. Healthy siblings are affected too when family resources are  focused on a chronically ill child. CoachArt supports these families by  offering free recreational lessons that bring a sense of normalcy back  into their lives.

We work to make sure that we get the word out about dogs in need of a home.

We find dogs in high kill shelters and work to rehab them back to health.

Our favorite day is a day that we place a dog in a new forever home with a happy family.

Any  donation made can help save a dogs life, and place them in a loving  foster or forever family. Please join our fellow supporters and dog  lovers by becoming a Guidry’s Guardian member, so we can continue our  mission of providing a loving family for every dog in need. www.guidrysguardian.org

Nearly 59,000 people in Los Angeles County are  experiencing homelessness. And each person has a story - whether it be  fleeing from domestic violence, battling with mental illness, or not  being able to find or keep a job.

But you can help change a neighbor's life.

When  you support Los Angeles Mission, you not only provide for the physical  needs of those in despair, but you also help our friends deal with years  of emotional trauma. Your gift could be the first step to a a better  life for a person experiencing homelessness.  give. www.losangelesmission.org
