One Step at a Time

Each spring and fall, we distribute brand-new and gently used shoes to displaced families across Baltimore. What started as Christian’s birthday tradition has become a city-wide act of compassion. For someone in need, a fresh pair of shoes is more than comfort. It’s dignity, momentum, and hope.

Because impact lives on.

Christian believed in people. And through our upcoming scholarship program, we’ll continue believing in the next generation. These scholarships will support Baltimore youth with dreams bigger than their zip code—focusing on leadership, community service, and academic resilience.

Turning pain into purpose

After Christian’s life was taken by senseless gun violence, we knew his story had to spark change. This initiative will provide youth mentorship, education, and advocacy programs aimed at violence prevention. We're committed to building a future where potential isn’t cut short, and every life gets a chance to make a splash.

Warming bodies and restoring dignity

Baltimore winters are brutal, especially if you're living without stable housing. Our seasonal coat drives provide coats, scarves, gloves, and hats to those who need them most. Every item is a shield against the cold and a reminder that someone cares.
