Non-Profit Collaboration
The research and development of 25/35 continues, we are overwhelmed by the amazing leads we are receiving. Today, Mrs. Lucy Michaud meets with us and joins our cause! She started her own non-profit years ago, Help for a Cure Guild, which aims to find a cure for diabetes. She acknowledges our passion and wants to jump on board. Gives us the name of the attorney who helped with her non-profit. She is a jewel!

About the 25/35 Foundation
The 25/35 Foundation is inspired by the inspirational verse from Matthew 25:35—“For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me.”
We believe in the profound discovery and journey, which lead all individuals on the road towards self-empowerment. On this road one will encounter the ability to witness, experience, believe, and fully live out life’s ultimate purpose. The 25/35 Foundation is committed to helping individuals along this path towards self-discovery.
To achieve this goal, the 25/35 Foundation aims to help rebuild the lives of individuals who are less fortunate, have been negatively affected by the recent economic crisis, and lack the immediate knowledge, resources, and means to reach this path. By providing the vital necessities to survive and live independently, encouraging confident work ethic, and supplying visitors with materials and skills needed to succeed in the workforce, we hope to instill a level of empowerment in the hearts of every single person.
Our Mission
The mission of the 25/35 Foundation is to serve and provide transitional housing, drug and alcohol rehabilitation, employment assistance, education services, and daily meals, for homeless families, individuals, and those who have suffered tremendously from the economic downfall. We aim to assist, although not limited to, individuals and residents throughout the poverty-stricken areas of San Bernardino and Riverside counties.
``
We firmly believe that the homeless condition is a communal problem in our society. Consequently, as an organization and as a member of the community, it is our responsibility to lend a helping hand. As part of our responsibility, we want to facilitate under-privileged individuals steady their path to success. The 25/35 Foundation will provide shelter and resources for those who seek them. Instead of accepting the misfortune of tens of thousands of homeless people within the San Bernardino and Riverside counties, we will inspire people to create the change in their lives—to understand the work force, to learn the trades, to apply themselves, and to be victorious.
A second chance for homeless, low-income, and unemployed individuals is the stepping-stone to help them start their lives over with an improved state of mind and set of skills. With the 25/35 Foundation, visitors will be given opportunities to participate in employment services, workshops, and training, along with transitional housing and meals.
Our Services
The 25/35 Foundation will provide these services to all our visitors:
· Employment, Medical, and Financial Assistance, and Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation
In addition to our transitional housing assistance, the 25/35 Foundation will provide other assisted services such as employment, medical, and financial assistance. For many suffering from homeless conditions, drug and alcohol abuse is a major issue. At the 25/35 Foundation we want to help individuals fight their addictions of drugs and alcohol in order that they may steady their road towards victory.
As a new organization, the 25/35 Foundation will collaborate with local human service organizations to provide all necessary services to cure homeless conditions. We will have on staff an expert and professional team of doctors, nurses, clinical psychologists, counselors, and social workers to supply these valuable services.
In our transitional housing facilities we will provide working space for volunteer professionals to bring their expertise, share their experiences, and serve our visitors in the field of medicine, employment, and financial assistance, and drug and alcohol rehabilitation.
· Providing Food and Shelter
"There is hunger for ordinary bread, and there is hunger for love, for kindness, for thoughtfulness; and this is the great poverty that makes people suffer so much." - Mother Teresa
With your donation, the 25/35 Foundation will be able to provide daily meals and transitional housing for the homeless in the San Bernardino and Riverside counties. By accepting volunteers and hiring cooks, families and individuals may stay at our housing facilities and enjoy warm meals. We plan to create partnerships with local restaurants and grocery stores for food donations, especially during special occasions, such as Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Easter. Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be served daily on a first come first serve basis. The food distributed will be presented buffet style.
Our transitional housing will consist of 3 separate shelters for families, men, and women in 3 different locations.
All services provided by the 25/35 Foundation will be open to all, without age or gender limitations. We firmly believe in the profound power of welcoming visitors to a place where they can begin the journey to rebuilding their lives.
Transitional Systems
Our transitional housing facilities will provide specific systems based on 2 categories: 1) families and 2) individuals and youth. The systems are strictly designed and modeled after various shelters and missions, all with similar goals and passions as the 25/35 Foundation, who have obtained positive and effective results. It is not intended to assume individual rights nor obstruct personal family dynamics, but it is confidently enforced to ensure an effective means towards success and fulfillment.
· Families
In providing families with a safe, warm and spacious facility, we will offer the necessary means to steady in the work force. Employment assistance will be available to every one, including career building, resume writing, and professional development workshops. Once an individual becomes a valuable member to the work force, weekly meetings with a financial counselor are mandatory. This is to assist families in saving half of the total salary in a savings account held by the 25/35 Foundation until they are ready to transition out.
We also understand that the transitional phase is one that may be difficult and overbearing, often causing tension between family members. Therefore, a day-care will be provided for working moms and dads staffed by experienced and welcoming caregivers.
· Individuals and Youth
A resident’s first 30 days will consist of a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program involving daily testing. During this initial period, residents may not leave the facility premises.
In providing transitional housing for individuals and youth, we will offer employment assistance and opportunities with minimal pay. Individual salaries will be determined based on experience. The 25/35 Foundation will implement a system where working individuals will contribute 30% of their salary towards their education and 30% will go towards a savings account. Weekly meetings with a case manager will be mandatory. When an individual transitions out of the facility, the individual will have obtained an Associates Degree or higher and have obtained full-time employment. There will be daily curfew restrictions (8:00pm weekdays and 9:00pm weekends) with a necessary drug and alcohol test if they decide to leave the premises.
