About Us
Meet Chemistress!
The Chemistress is a yoga practicing, coffee drinking, children and animal loving, trail chasing, artistic writer, who is constantly trying to evolve as a mother and individual. Once she saw the nation wide ban on abortions, she realized, there is going to be an uprise in overcrowded foster systems in America. Chemistress has no opinion on abortions and what people need or want to do in their own time. She is just concerned with the well being of the souls who are struggling and believes we should all try to do our part in the world to help another. Chemistress believes love and attention can help lift the energy of this world into it's highest version of itself. A smile, a token of gratitude, a helping hand, a warm embrace, and some conversation can go a long way for someone who hasn't experienced any of those in a long time.
Why I do what I do:
Since 13 years of age to my adult years, I had bounced from home, to home, to home, trying to find a safe space that would accept me for who I was. When I kept finding more people who only liked me when I was a quiet calm girl who attended to her Cinderella duties without complaints, I started to become hopeless. I would become discarded when I acted out of character, showed any intense emotions, or had too much curiosity. I can't blame them, I was being difficult.. but I felt I had no place in the world because of it. With this organization I hope to provide these children a place of safety and understanding. I don't blame these families for not being able to handle me. They had they're own issues. But I do want to change the narrative and show others its OK to feel what they're feeling. They're not difficult in my eyes. We all have a past and we all have different ways of dealing with it. I hope to be a beacon of guidance and an advocate to those who cannot speak for themselves.
Each family played a crucial part in my upbringing. They all taught me something. Each lesson led me to find out something new about myself, including my calling. This organization is my calling. I want help others see what can happen when you believe in each other. Especially a child. The youth of our generation is who we most definitely need to concentrate on. If we keep neglecting them, wouldn’t that just teach them to do the same to us in the future? Along with their children's children. Building a healthy society starts in your homes, in your neighborhoods, and communities.
After becoming a mother, I made it a point to teach my children often to never STOP asking questions. Questions are good. Asking questions in the classroom don't make you look silly or dumb. Questions get you answers. I remembered what it was like to be a kid, having no confidence. A small innocent by stander who just wanted to be heard. This is something I hope we all remember so we can make snowball habits to complement others that surround us everyday. Confidence builds joy.
If our foster systems become overcrowded:
Why we all should be anticipating the current overwhelming response we’ll endure to our foster care systems throughout the country, since Roe vs. Wade was turned over. A lot of states are without the right to abortions now and so this means a lot more of unhoused babies will be overwhelming the system. What happens then is the government will start moving the deadline for foster kids to age out. Current age is 21 in California (under AB-12) but in other states it’s 18 years old and then theses poor kids are on their own. Left to fend for themselves. Once they age out they’re homeless, turn to drugs, crime, and/or become victims of human sex trafficking schemes, ending up with mental illnesses, leading to a higher suicidal rate. I’m not political. I don’t care for the discussion whether abortions are right or wrong. I just know we need to prepare for more life less bodies and crime in the streets. I don't know about you, but I teach my children about empathy. I do not want to prepare them to get used to seeing bodies on the street as we walk by like they weren't once a living and breathing human. We need to do better and make sensitivity appealing again.
How Recreational Centers will help:
This organization is to fund for recreational centers for our youth and unhoused to be able to come to for guidance, safety, education, and mental health services. A lot of these people only have shelters that provide a place to sleep and/or sometimes to eat at as well. The recreational centers that we would like to build will be more of a community that will consist of a gardens, build your own homes, create your own jobs. A place where people (outside the Chemistress Cause Community) can come to support the unhoused community to make a living. The unhoused individuals can live there for free as long as they either take classes or start their own business(es). For example: If an aged out foster care child comes to the recreational center for help, we will set them up with classes, therapy, a place to sleep, and food OR instead of classes they may have the option to start their business inside the Chemistress Cause community as a.. let’s say a barber! They can open up shop in our designated areas where people can come and pay for their services.
