    Create Your Reality!

    Watering Hope partners with San Diego City College to host a dynamic “Food is Medicine: Nutrition Security” event. Mental health and nutrition turned into a fun and informative atmosphere for students. Over 250 students went home with generous bags of fresh produce directly from local farmers, enjoyed delicious organic meals cooked from the college garden, and learned valuable tips on healthy eating from a registered dietitian and a mental health specialist Katy Rose. The event was a lively success, complete with a DJ to keep the positive energy and good vibes. Watering Hope Takes “Food is Medicine” on the Road! #Healthequity #Generationalhealth This impactful event is just the beginning! Watering Hope is committed to bringing “#FoodisMedicine” E.A.T(Education-Access-Training) program to schools across the US.

    Disruption is the catalyst to greatness! Tears streamed down my face as I walked through the streets, searching for Chloe. Although we were only married for a decade we shared so much joy, growth, and countless laughs together, it felt like a lifetime. It took a little over 6 months to find her. The weight of uncertainty pressed down on me like the crushing depths of the ocean, leaving me feeling adrift and powerless. It was during those dark moments that I encountered something unexpected: the radiant hearts of countless homeless people, their stories etched in the lines of their faces, and the warmth of their smiles. As I listened to their stories and struggles, I realized that my journey wasn’t just about finding Chloe—it was about finding a deeper purpose and a positive impact worldwide. Each encounter opened my eyes to the interconnectedness of all people, and the universal need for compassion, empathy, and, kindness. It was in those moments that the seed of Watering Hope was planted—a seed that would grow into a movement dedicated to helping those in need, to bringing hope and healing to underserved communities and schools far and wide. Through our E.A.T program— Education, Access, and Training—we aimed to educate students and communities about the importance of mental health and nutrition, provide them with access to the resources they need, and train them on how to make healthier choices. This comprehensive approach allowed us to address the root causes of health inequality and work towards a sustainable future for all. We express our sincere thanks to Google Ads for their generous donation of $120,000 to Watering Hope. We wouldn't have this massive impact without you. We must also acknowledge the critical challenges our society faces today poor nutrition is the leading cause of sickness in America and mental illness is at an all-time high leading to homelessness, suicide, depression, crippling anxiety, and much more. This is why Watering Hope is on a mission to raise $1,000,000 https://lnkd.in/g8PNp74V to support mental wellness, health equity, and generational health. We invite other sponsors to join us in creating meaningful change and ensuring the highest level of health for future generations. Apple Bank of America The Rockefeller Foundation Sempra United Airlines American Express Business Tesla Blackstone Whole Foods Market I dream of a vibrant San Diego where homelessness is eradicated, and everyone has free access to effective mental health resources. Countless lives are saved and changed taking a proactive approach. Schools and underserved communities forge strong connections with local farms, and access to fresh produce with an understanding that food is medicine. Recognizing the critical link between food and mental well-being, www.wateringhope.org serves as a catalyst, joining forces with visionary leaders and change-makers to nurture a future where generations thrive, not just survive.
