Prior to living on the street, Fabio had been living in Coconut Grove, working as a DJ. The life was fast paced and introduced him to drugs. He was one of the first brothers to be found by Outreach in 2016. Fast Housing found him a place in a rehabilitation facility in West Palm Beach; however, his sobriety did not last longer than 6 months. Outreach found him again a few months later, and placed him in a home among other brothers. While Fabio found his passion for cooking, he is currently working in construction as the pandemic has forced many chefs out of their positions.

Living on the streets for five months, Jose would stay in a hotel on a given night if he could afford it. In 2018, Outreach met José. He was not like the rest of the homeless that we usually find in the streets. He was a Dominican in good shape, well dressed and he had a very interesting conversation. After two months, he decided to accept Fast Housing and moved in with our Hermanos de la Calle community. Today, at 65 years old, he expresses his passions for reading and Asian food as he remains a part of our family. Cinco meses entre hoteles y la calle. En 2018, Encuentro conoció a José.

Hoy, a los 65 años, expresa sus pasiones por la lectura, la comida asiática, y es un gran miembro de nuestra familia.

What started out as delivering warm meals to create a connection, turned into a mission to help the homeless reconnect with society. As they started identifying needs beyond food and nourishment, the volunteers began seeking out resources to assist these individuals with detoxing and rehabilitation, reuniting with family, housing, and immigration and legal help. Over time, the demand within the community increased and the interest in volunteering rapidly grew. All of this led to the establishment of Fundación Hermanos de la Calle Inc. in 2017.
