“Homelessness in NYC have hit record highs with a 115 percent increase over the past two decades and it’s time for all of us to unite and try to make a change. This project may not be the solution, however, it’s one step closer towards turning the world into a better place”, says Jordana Guimaraes – founder of “The NYLON Project”.
The initial goal of this project is to give out 1,500 meals starting on December 1st, 2016 up until February 7th, 2017. Each person who receives a meal, will tell us their story of how they wound up on the streets and this will be shared via an IG page which will entice everyone who gives a meal to start sharing their stories with us and with this, creating a community of people helping people.

Domestic violence is the willful intimidation, physical assault, battery, sexual assault, and/or other abusive behavior as part of a systematic pattern of power and control perpetrated by one intimate partner against another. It includes physical violence, sexual violence, psychological violence, and emotional abuse. The frequency and severity of domestic violence can vary dramatically; however, the one constant component of domestic violence is one partner’s consistent efforts to maintain power and control over the other.
Domestic violence is an epidemic affecting individuals in every community, regardless of age, economic status, sexual orientation, gender, race, religion, or nationality. It is often accompanied by emotionally abusive and controlling behavior that is only a fraction of a systematic pattern of dominance and control. Domestic violence can result in physical injury, psychological trauma, and in severe cases, even death. The devastating physical, emotional, and psychological consequences of domestic violence can cross generations and last a lifetime.
On average 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men have been victims of (some form of) physical violence by an intimate partner within their lifetime.

The mission at The CARE Project, Inc. is to provide support for both male and female breast cancer patients undergoing & recovering from treatment. The CARE Project realizes that while patients are undergoing and/or recovering from treatment, most cannot work full time and therefore their incomes are significantly less than usual. This means that everyday necessities become luxuries. The CARE Project aims to help with those very needs so the patient can focus on healing.
Sickle cell disease (SCD) affects people of many racial and ethnic groups. In the United States alone, 90,000 to 100,000 people―mainly Blacks or African Americans―have SCD. The disease occurs among about 1 of every 500 Black or African-American births and among about 1 out of every 36,000 Hispanic-American births.
My Three Sicklers Sickle Cell Foundation’s mission is to increase the public’s awareness of sickle cell anemia. They aim to support awareness, education and research pertaining to sickle cell anemia as well as provide support to families affected by this life threatening disease.
