Children's Health Advocacy, Research, Medical Education & Research, Incorporated

Although we still do handle cases that involve advocating for catastrophically and terminally ill children (and adults) battling, but not solely limited to, cancer and AIDS, our efforts have now shifted (by heavy demand) to working with various organizations to help building housing for the over 40,000 United States veterans still sleeping on our streets.  If you would like to help support our efforts, please follow the link below, or merely just text the word VETERAN to 925 222 2490 and follow the instructions.

Unlike any other non profit charitable organization in existence, C.H.A.R.M.E.D., Incorporated was specifically designed to ensure that at least 80% of every donation is used to help the people we are committed to serving, and not used to underwrite the salaries of those enlisted to aid in those pursuits.  Furthermore, unlike any other non-profit organization, C.H.A.R.M.E.D., Incorporated is operated solely by volunteers.

As a veteran of the United States Marine Corp, it is out of a sense of duty to my Country and our armed forces that our primary focus and our goal has become to help address the plight of 32,000 veterans each night: abolish homelessness.  From personal experience, despite how many organizations my fellow veterans contacted for help, the only thing the salaried employees of both non profits and government agencies could say to them was, "I am sorry we can't help you."  One veteran added that it was even more disheartening when an individual from a foreign country who had never served in the United States military conveyed the news that he was out of luck and would be sleeping on the street. The man -- working for the charitable organization -- however, wasn't homeless and sleeping on the street -- he had a job denying veterans housing.
