Unhoused Neighbors Mobile Hygiene in the Desert

My name is Amina and I live in Tucson, Az. I’ve been an LPN for 7 years and I recently graduated and attained my RN. I was born in Tucson, and I love it very much. As a native, I drive my streets each day and I see so many veterans and civilians that need help. Living in the desert, it gets hot during the day and I'd like to provide the people of my city with a mobile hygiene program. We don't have one here and it's my dream to help my community and bring much-needed services including but not limited to hygiene to these people. Shower opportunities are limited and I'd like to help. This is just the beginning though. I want to build mobile care pop-up villages for my community all over town. My dream is to purchase a bus and retrofit it to the needs of my community then find people who want to help and grow until we can create the pop-up care villages this wonderful town deserves (i.e. showers, shaving, haircuts, medical care, social services, clothing exchange) and so much more. It's incredibly hot here during the summer and I'd like to help as much as I can as quickly as I can. I will be starting a 501(c)(3) and hopefully begin my dream as quickly as I can. Any donations are appreciated. It started with a simple hygiene bag, handing them out to people we passed as we went along. It started a fire in me that grew to epic proportions. Buses around here cost about 5200$-8900$. The research say retrofitting a bus costs 150-160k, but I have faith it can be done for less. So aside from the bus costs the rest of the funds go to retrofit the bus with appropriate private shower stations and we will move forward with creating this dream for the people of this Arizona town. You can donate here and through Facebook Fundraisers as well.

Thank you for any and everything, and please share as much as you can! Love and light to all.
