My name is Levi Spears, and I am the founder of Centipede Peer‑to‑Peer, a grassroots outreach organization serving people experiencing homelessness, addiction, and mental‑health struggles in Stockton, Lodi, and the greater San Joaquin County area.

For years, I’ve walked the streets, encampments, riverbanks, and back alleys—meeting people where they are, listening to their stories, and helping them take the first steps toward safety, stability, and hope. I do this work because I’ve lived it. I know what it feels like to be lost, to feel invisible, and to fight battles that no one else sees. My lived experience is my strength, and I use it every day to lift others up.

Centipede Peer‑to‑Peer is built on one belief:

No one should have to struggle alone.

Every day, I provide:

Peer support rooted in lived experience

Crisis response and emotional support

Help getting clean and staying clean

Transportation to shelters, detox, and treatment

Food, water, hygiene kits, and survival supplies

Advocacy for people who feel unheard

Guidance toward housing, recovery, and stability

But doing this work alone is hard—and the need in our community is growing faster than the resources available.

That’s why I’m asking for your support.

Your donation will help me:

Provide essential supplies to people living on the streets

Transport individuals to shelters, treatment, and medical care

Expand outreach to more encampments and high‑need areas

Build programs that support long‑term recovery and stability

Keep Centipede Peer‑to‑Peer active, consistent, and growing

Every dollar goes directly toward helping real people in real crisis moments.

Every donation helps someone feel seen, valued, and supported.

Every act of kindness creates a ripple of hope.

If you believe in compassion…

If you believe in second chances…

If you believe that every life has value…

Then I invite you to stand with me.

Together, we can change lives—one person, one conversation, one act of support at a time.

Thank you for believing in this mission and in the people we serve.
