About:Collecting unwanted clothes and up cycling them into something that is useable from clothes to bags to pencil cases there are endless possibilities. We also make cards and little items like keychains for kids and teens in hospitals. Clothes we make will be donated to shelters and other places. We also make bags to give to centers who need them for packing things like food and medicine. Mission Statement: In North Carolina, there is currently no state or federal support for clothing needs. In the U.S. an estimated 2 out of every 5 children do not have access to basic clothing necessities. Globally, Millions of people including children all around the world struggle to access basic clothing. At Found Me (real me), we transform forgotten clothing into refreshed, reimagined pieces through the art of upcycling. From clothing you can wear multiple ways to one-of-a-kings bags and pencils cases, every item is promised to be made with care and purpose. Clothing isn't just something you wear - it's a symbol of who you are. Our carefully handmade creations are mean't to help you rediscover the beauty of what was once overlooked. Because when you wear something made with a purpose, you don't just look good - you feel good. You find the real you. "I am the real me."

About: Seasons for Homeless is a youth-led project based in San Jose that I hope to grow into a full organization. The idea is to support individuals and families experiencing homelessness through seasonal donation drives, community events, and volunteer-led activities. We plan to collect essentials like food, clothes, toiletries, toys, school supplies, and winter gear, while also offering opportunities for volunteers to help with meal prep, sorting donations, tutoring, arts and crafts for kids, game nights, and holiday celebrations. I also hope to host fundraising events, community dinners, and simple life-skills workshops like resume help and budgeting. Although it's not an official organization yet, my goal is to reach the right audience: people who care, want to get involved, and are looking for meaningful ways to earn volunteer hours while making a real difference.
