The journey of Lending A Supporting Hand (L.A.S.H.) Foundation began with Badia Shephard’s personal experience as a single homeless mother. Facing the harsh realities of homelessness and the struggle to provide for her child, Badia understood the deep sense of helplessness that many families encounter. Rather than letting these challenges define her, she chose to channel her experience into a mission to help others in similar situations. Determined to break the cycle of poverty and instability, Badia embarked on a path of advocacy and support. With over 20 years of experience in the nonprofit sector, including leadership roles with organizations dedicated to human rights and family support, she saw a profound need for a dedicated approach to addressing homelessness. This led to the creation of L.A.S.H. Foundation—a beacon of hope for those in need. Badia’s vision was clear: to provide not just temporary relief, but also the tools and resources necessary for long-term success. She leveraged her expertise and passion to build a foundation that offers comprehensive support, from transitional housing to job training and beyond. Through her unwavering commitment and the support of a dedicated team, Badia is making her dream of ending homelessness a reality, one life at a time..
