KarePax Foundation

I aged out of foster care at the age of 18. Since then, I have spent around four years of my adult life homeless, just trying to survive. In that time, I have learned what are the essentials that I need to survive while living in my car or on the streets. Since successfully getting to stability, I have worked to develop carefully curated care packages to provide to the people who are facing homelessness or poverty. Things that the typical outreach supply packages might not contain. That is how I came up with the idea of KarePax Foundation, to provide people with more than just the basic necessities, but the tools they need to survive in this world, while being able to pursue art, music, creative writing, education and learn where they can reach out for universal resources across the nation. Currently KarePax Foundation is under my Wild Spirit Life LLC. I hope to receive support, and 3 board directors, to eventually begin a nonprofit. Also seeking donations and volunteers to supply and construct more and more care packages. Most people are too shy or fearful to reach out to the unhoused directly, and I hope to create a safe space following the footsteps of feed my starving children, where volunteers can gather and construct these care packages. This will allow people to truly provide aid to others, while not necessarily having to do fieldwork, which is where we will come to play to do that fieldwork. I hope to not just create a business, but create a movement towards helping others on this philanthropic endeavor. #ChicagoCharity #EndHomelessness #KarepaxGives #SouthSideChicago, #RogersPark, #PilsenCommunity
