Pastor Marcos and Melissa Diaz of Kaleo Ministries embody the true essence of service, walking the talk in their unwavering commitment to our most vulnerable neighbors and extended community members. They are the hands and feet of God, dedicated to supporting the healing and wholeness of individuals and families, including youth of all ages.
Through private donors, they have done more for the mind, body, and spirit of those led to their doors than many well-funded organizations that, all too often, sustain the revolving door of homelessness rather than truly ending it.
Hope City Refuge will be a beacon of hope, building upon the powerful calling placed on the lives of Pastors Marcos and Melissa Diaz. May God continue to bless them with open doors, resources, strength, wisdom, courage, and love as they extend Kaleo Ministries’ transformative work to all whose lives they touch.
JacQueline M. supported: Support Hope City Refuge – Address the Unhoused Crisis in Orange CountyFamily is a dying platform. If we don't keep what family values are left in today's world intact; our society will continue to rot. Children need the nurturing of loved ones not the forced bandaid of separation. Being taken from true family sites the child that they do not matter. This alone will cause them more trauma that will continue on to future generations.
Sean supported: Stop the Forcible Separation of US Families in PovertyIt should be a human right for everyone to have someplace warm to shield themselves from our freezing NH winters. I would be more than happy to have my tax dollars going towards this!
Ashley supported: Open Warming CenterEvery single person is a human. If we can show compassion for others we can make a big change in the world. Imagine being out in the freezing cold for just 12 hours.. brrr. Warming shelters allow people to escape death or hypothermia
Jacob supported: Open Warming CenterUnfortunately animals are treated better than our children and loved ones. People have no idea of the reality behind mental illnesses. The governments response to mental wellness is locked up in a jail or prison. Would we put a diabetic, cancer patient, blind, deaf, or any other illnesses into a jail for treatment? NO! That would be a ridiculous! So why then do we do that to our mentally ill? They deserve to be treated with RESPECT and REAL HEALTH CARE! Unless you see mental wellness in its reality you could never understand that prison and homelessness is our countries answer to mental health care.
THIS NEEDS TO CHANGE! NOW!
Julie supported: Christopher’s Law: Giving Families the Power to Help Loved Ones with SchizophreniaMy son, Billy, was diagnosed with schizophrenia at age 21. He took his medication but as one doctor put it, he was an unfortunate young man, that the medication did not help. His father died young and his older sister, my daughter, tag team keeping him alive for three years. It was a 24-7 fight. My son voluntarily checked himself into a mental health in-patient facilities in Florida. There was a sign in sheet for friends and family members at the facility. Some times from day to day, no one would sign in except me. The others in the facility were not getting visitors and were lost in the West Palm Beach mental health system. It broke my heart. He tried to work, go to college and church, but the voices wouldn't let him and his medications in 2004 were just not the right ones for him. During the hurricane of that year, in mid September, he got in his car and rammed into a power pole. He was in an induced coma for two weeks. Then he got an infection and God took him home. The last thing I could do for him was to share his story and support families and victims of this insidious brain disease that there is hope, and loved ones need the power and support to speak for their children that are suffering. Suffering. Who knows their child better than their family and loved ones? Please support Christopher's Law. ~ Billy's Mom
April supported: Christopher’s Law: Giving Families the Power to Help Loved Ones with SchizophreniaMy son was also dx with Schizophrenia at the age of 17 years old he was non compliant yet my voice did not matter. My son passed away 2025 I am devastated the law must change it has to change Please
Rocio supported: Christopher’s Law: Giving Families the Power to Help Loved Ones with SchizophreniaIt took three years and six hospitalizations before my child accepted medication. By that time, her life had derailed. Her condition had worsened. Her support team at Seneca quit on her and suggested that I refuse to allow her back into my home, but I was not willing to let my beautiful, mentally ill teen daughter live in the streets. In hindsight and with the benefit of medication and the clarity that came with that, she deeply regrets waiting to start meds.
Liz supported: Christopher’s Law: Giving Families the Power to Help Loved Ones with SchizophreniaAs a result of untreated severe mental illness including anosognosia, my brother, James Mark Rippee passed away on November 29th, 2022. He was blind, with schizophrenia and anosognosia. He was found in the middle of the night -- gasping for air-- on a sidewalk. He was suffering from a brain disorder, and he needed medical treatment. We sought answers and help for him unsuccessfully for 36 years, 16 of which he spent homeless. As an advocate, I have pushed for laws that incorporate anosognosia with the understanding that 50% to 90% of those with SMI lack insight including Prop 1 and SB 43. He shouldn't have died, and more will because anosognosia is not taken into consideration when treatment is needed.
Catherine supported: Christopher’s Law: Giving Families the Power to Help Loved Ones with SchizophreniaI'm a nurse and I worked in the jail I witnessed a lot of abuse. From the officers and even some nurses. I belive it's the culture but it does not have to be. Pepole are encouraged and told to turn there head and ignore the abuse. There were officers who became inmates due to crossing the line and were corrupt.
