In the last 3 years, I have lived in my car a;l around the country, I've couch surfed, done multiple work trades and got lured into fake caretaking positions, I've lived in my storage unit, a dog shed, a tool shed and a tent for the winter in the snowy cold mountains.  During this time I went from healthy, to sick to regaining much of my health back again.
Before that I was volunteering to help the homeless for 3 decades.
I hold a Phd.  I've started multiple businesses and community groups.
I KNOW what it takes to help homeless people.  I've lived it.

Now for those of you that say you want to help the homeless....definitely not just me as I'm specifically referring to your neighbors, these are some ways that can REALLY help someone get their life back.

My phone overheated and shut down so I had to do the second part the following day, but this is some advice for you helpers out there that don't know where to start in your mission of spreading love to us invisible people that have been cast out of society.

and here is part 2, which pretty much sums up most of the first and finishing the rest of my list:

I hope this helps you help others in a more tangible and effective way.  :-)

I wanted to share with you the structure that I was able to build for myself to live in this winter in the tent in the mountains in Washington State.  I think that this could be an easy way to get people sheltered provided they have a safe space to set up.
I chose these materials because I was doing it myself and the cost.  Also because if you saw any of my beautiful gardens in the past, you know that I have already built structures with these materials that have held up for years and years.
My tent dome made it through the "worst winter ever" in this area of the mountains in the pacific northwest.  Holding up with even over a foot of snow and ice.  The inside remained dry and intact.
All of my back up methods for structure fail ended up working after I left my tent for a month to have another 3 feet dump.  While there was one weakness, the backup measures all worked and prevented disaster!
I would call this a success!  :)

I walk you through my structure build here...

To see the entire playlist of the process I made a playlist here:

The inside kept evolving past this video so here are a couple photos of the inside of my magical alien disco ball spaceship cave in the forest!  :)




Stay tuned for what I'm working on next as I work my way out of homelessness!  :)

Hi there!  Here is just another way we can reduce our bills and negative impact on the environment while increasing our ability to take care of ourselves in a more healthful manner!

This is a super simple way to make your own laundry soap and or soft scrub in literally minutes!  :)

Feel free to use whatever oils you prefer...or none at all.  Either way, your clothes will come out clean...and you will also be able to scrub the greasy grime in your oven, floors and bathrooms eliminating black mold, mildew and any other problems.

Blessings and Love,
Christie Aphrodite
