Angels Among Us: Standing Beside the Homeless with Love

At the House of Angels Foundation, giving to the homeless is not just something we do, it’s who we are and have been since the Foundation’s inception. It has always been our mission to uplift those in need, and we will never stop being a source of light for our brothers and sisters living without shelter, security, or support.

Our founder, Shaman, chose to live homeless for a full year in the Bay Area, not out of necessity, but out of purpose. She walked among those who sleep under the stars, who bathe in public restrooms, and who carry all they own on their backs or shopping carts. Like spiritual icons before her, Jesus, Buddha, and others who gave up earthly comfort to embrace divine understanding, Shaman’s journey was one of humility and deep connection to the forgotten and unseen. She would sit in Golden Gate Park doing rosaries and prayers with them. She ran away from her family at God’s behest in order to test her faith and witness the world outside of her sheltered upbringing. 

What she discovered was profound:

The homeless are not without faith but are overflowing with it.
They showed Shaman that love is the healing power of this world and it can be felt through all people by the grace they choose to accept in their hearts.

This revelation became a cornerstone of our foundation. We are Earth Angels because we do not look down, we stand beside. We believe in radical compassion, in meeting people where they are, and in delivering practical, loving support in moments of greatest need. 

We believe in showing those in need that in this world that can be so cruel, that they deserve nurturing, love, and God’s embrace. To feel comfort and belonging because we are a unity, one family of people across the world.

We work to provide food, clothing, and much needed supplies to those in need especially during the brutal winter months. 

We are accepting donations of:

• New sleeping bags
• New warm winter coats
• Backpacks
• Unopened hygiene kits (toothbrushes, soap, feminine hygiene, etc.)

Together, we are called to do more than watch — we are called to act. Be the angel someone prays for today.
