Wound Walk OC tends to the wounds of our unsheltered in Orange County, California.. Our Mission is the direct relief for those who need it most. We have a wound wagon, filled by items donated by people like you. Each person who calls outside home is different, but, of course— all deserve basic human care. What we do is deliver relief so that they might catch their breath for a moment, feel a connection – we won’t stop until some can recognize themselves in a mirror someday.
As the mayor of Skid Row says, “less lip and more hip work” Traditional approaches to care for the unsheltered is NOT street medicine. Street medicine is a collaboration between community members, dedicated and passionate healers, volunteers, and the patients themselves. Our work couldn’t have been done without @lestonnacfreeclinic who has a BIG gala coming up 🎉 The gala is sold out but you can still donate to help support the new surgery center that will ensure those who need surgery is able to get it. Thank you to all those who support us and work with us! tonight we had the wonderful @matconnectoc helping our folks get into detox. #streetmedicine #woundwalk #healing #healthcare
