Let's Help Mateo Secure Housing And His Much Needed Surgeries

One time donation

Bring Hope and Healing to Mateo Through the Power of Compassion

When they found me, I was limping down the street with a busted knee and a guitar held together by hope. But when I sat down to play them a song, I forgot about the pain for a minute. Music does that for me.

I've been without a phone for months. Most people don't think about how much that takes from you I can't call a doctor, can't schedule the surgeries I need, can't even tell someone where I am. They bought me a new guitar, a meal, a phone with a solar charger, and I won't lie, I broke down. Not because of the things, but because somebody stopped and actually saw me.

But I'm still out here. I need a safe place to stay so I can get these surgeries done and actually recover not on concrete, not in the cold. I can't heal if I don't have that.

If you can give anything, it goes straight toward getting me housed and into the medical care I've been waiting on. And if you can't give right now, just sharing my story means more than you know. I just want a chance to get back on my feet for real this time.
