The Dream ~ Agape Foundation

Bare with me, The Agape Foundation is A Dream In The Making.

My Dream is to create a community that thrives on lending a hand, sharing knowledge, teaching skills, believing in each other, and most of all embracing love. Call me corny, but I wish to pay it forward in life by reminding the unseen why they are special enough to make a difference. While making a place that embodies the idea that we all deserve a home built on love.

I currently make stickers, shirts, etc to give tiny reminders throughout the day that you are loved and needed no matter your purpose in life. And We also host annual community events so local artists and families can get together to share and pay it forward.

I hope the video helped summarize what the goal of this foundation will be. If you have any questions please feel free to let me know. I'm hoping to learn from you and touch as many people and animals lives that has touched mine. I truly believe in "it takes a village", I wouldn't be here without the people in mine.

Agape I Hope to Give To The Unseen

Love for People

I hope to give people the opportunity to feel more and experience more than living to work or working to live.

It's hard to wake up under a bridge or in a car and feel worthy enough to be a part of anything, or to find the motivation to love yourself. Thats why Everyone is welcomed into the community as long as they are aware the focus is creating a environment where everything and everyone; animals, plants and people are to be respected and loved.

I intended to create a space where people from all walks of life whether a Gardner, Veterinarian, Chef, Contracter, Bus Driver, College Student, Seperated Soldier, Homeless, Alone, Married, Pregnant, a single parent, etc.. will have a place to call home. A place to be creative and more importantly pay it forward by sharing their gifts (knowledge, love, compassion, an ear, a hug, patience) with life around them.

Love for Animals

My end goal is to have a open shelter concept on a plot of land that can give any and every animal the opportunity to be loved and cared for and live the rest of their lives with no expectations. The people who come to stay in the farm isnt required to pay rent so peoples focus will be to maintain the happiness of the animals that call the farm home. Basically a retirement home for animals. (NOT a hospice, rehab, clinic)

Love for Yourself

All in all Paying it Forward (PIF) is to give without any expectation of anything in return. Gifting animals or people not just monetary but with what life has already gifted you. Wildest part is you gain so much doing it and don't even know it. PIF can benefit your Mental and Physical health.

Here is a wonderful article from Psychology today about the benefits of PIF:
