Here’s What the Families Are Saying?

“2018, my kids and I found ourselves living in a shelter, facing one of the most difficult periods of our lives. It was during that time that I first met Lelisa Watts. She was one of the few staff members who truly treated us like human beings, showing us kindness, dignity, and genuine compassion.

2019, our first Christmas after leaving the shelter. Lelisa reached out and extended an invitation to her foundation. The Heme Foundation, Christmas party. That invitation truly made a difference for our family that year, helping us celebrate Christmas in a way I couldn’t have imagined.

We have been invited back every year and have continued to witness Lelisa and her team helping others. Her dedication to serving families through The Heme Foundation - Dream Academy is truly inspiring”
