 This could be paradise, no more competition.
One human family working together.

They’re "couch surfing" with friends, sleeping in cars, abandoned buildings, libraries, train & bus stations, on the streets … places not intended for people to live.
Picture
On any given day or night,
homeless adults, children, and families across our country are living and sleeping outside or in other unsuitable places and situations.
Picture
They face a daily struggle to obtain and maintain the things most of us take for granted: food, clothing, shelter, personal hygiene, healthcare and support from family and friends. 
Picture
The connection between homelessness and substance use is undeniable, affecting our cities and suburban communities equally. 
Picture
Time spent without a stable home leads to increased mental health disorders and collateral damage from coping behaviors like substance use.
There are many situations that lead to homelessness … broken families,
financial difficulties, drug or alcohol addiction, mental health issues.
 Oftentimes, there are multiple issues involved.
​Many organizations are working to help the homeless and co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders.
Yet the needs are growing faster than services can be provided.
From food and clothing to mental wellness and substance recovery services, more help is desperately needed.
​At Pennies From Kevan Foundation ('PFKF'), we're doing our part by raising funds to help local providers
of these essential services in the Philadelphia and Los Angeles areas, so that more needs can be met.

Thank you for caring by making a one-time or recurring donation to PFKF and/or by participating in our fundraising events.
