“This is where we're supposed to tell you exactly who we are and what we do in 200 words. True confession: we can't do that. What we've done before isn't necessarily what we'll be doing in the future. That's because we consider each and every need that crosses our path. And while we know the impact we make is deep and personal and life- changing, the outcomes aren't always measurable. These are some of the reasons big money doesn't know what to do with us and most of our funding comes from highly-committed, much appreciated grassroots supporters. While the work we do doesn't fit into a neat little package, we can say this: - we provide resoureces and support for people and organizations already doing important work (sometimes). - we build programs to tackle projects of our own (sometimes). - we operate from a principle that guides us where we go and anchors us once we're there (all the time). That anchoring truth is that everyone has a unique gift to give their fellow humans. Using those gifts for the benfit of others provides purpose to the giver and life changes to the recipient. The cycle we work toward is one where the recipients become givers themselves. And while that's an outcome that can't be measured, it is no doubt immeasurable.”

“2021 accomplishments: 1. Secured an additional apartment building to house 40 more people. 2. Provided monthly support for refugees from venezuela and aging residents of lima without family ties. 3. Offered life coaching to 40 adults to identify job opportunities and future career interests. 4. Provided start-up funding for a bakery that employs 40 people. 2022 goals: at the end of 2021, the something new board made the decision to discontinue its programming due to increasing costs and a significant decrease in donations during the last two years. The organization will not have goals for 2022 since it will not be operating.”
