Miracle Messages
www.miraclemessages.orgMiracle Messages is an award-winning nonprofit organization that helps people experiencing homelessness rebuild their social and financial support systems, primarily through family reunifications, a phone-based buddy system, and $500/month direct cash transfers. Reunion services: A person experiencing homelessness records a message to a loved one (or vice versa). Then, our global network of "digital detectives" attempt to locate the loved one and deliver the message. To date, we've reunited 450+ families, with an average time separated of 15 years. 15-20% of reunions have resulted in stable housing and 80% have led to a positive outcome. Buddy system: Miracle Friends matches unhoused neighbors with committed volunteers for weekly phone calls and texts. To date, 150+ friends have been matched from across the United States. Volunteers are welcomed to apply from anywhere in the world. Direct cash transfers: Miracle Money is a "Universal Basic Income for the homeless" pilot that offers $500/month for six months to people experiencing homelessness. To date, nearly $50K has been distributed to 15 unhoused participants in the Bay Area. Miracle Messages offers a humane, highly effective way to help end homelessness: strengthen social supports, shatter stigmas, and empower people everywhere to get involved. Our work has been featured in the New York Times, Washington Post, SF Chronicle, CNN, in an essay by President Bush, in a TED talk, and hundreds more. We're on a mission to end relational poverty on the streets – join us.
