Victoria Vigil

Founder & CEO

Victoria has always had a love for people and understands the fear of homelessness. She has survived homelessness due to domestic violence and does not want another person to have to struggle that way. She was a closeted bisexual woman in fear of homelessness due to her family’s religious extremism. She is earning a degree in Clinical Counseling, where she is gaining expertise in mental health and community development.

Victoria’s grassroots project was founded on June 26, 2025, and is looking to grow and expand from more than just an idea to serve the community nationwide.

One Hug. Creating Community.

One Day at a Time.
