LEVI SPEARS

Hi, I'm LEVI SPEARS, and I'm excited to rally support for the American Red Cross, an organization dedicated to preventing and alleviating human suffering in emergencies. The Red Cross is always there, providing vital assistance when disaster strikes, and with your help, we can amplify their incredible work. Your donations will make a meaningful difference in our community and beyond. Here are just a couple of ways your generosity will be utilized: Disaster Relief: Your contribution will help people affected by disasters, offering them immediate support wherever it's needed. Blood Services: Donations ensure that life-saving blood and blood products are available and safe for those in urgent need. Join me in supporting the American Red Cross and help make a positive impact today. Every donation counts, and together we can help those in need!

Centipede Peer to Peer exists because I lived it — the struggle, the relapse, the rebuilding, the loneliness, and the breakthroughs. Every hard moment gave me something no textbook ever could: real insight. I didn't build this community from the outside looking in. I built it from the inside — because I know what it feels like to need someone who truly understands. And now, that's exactly what we offer each other. Centipede Peer to Peer is a movement shaped by real experience. Every policy written, every idea shaped, and every person helped comes from the same place: knowing what it feels like to be broken and still choose to get back up. Our community is dedicated to supporting those who are struggling, especially people experiencing homelessness. We provide supplies and hope, with the goal of helping individuals rebuild their lives and transition off the street. Your support means everything. By contributing, you help us reach more people, offer essential supplies, and create a space where no one has to face their challenges alone. Please join us in making a difference for those who need it most. Together, we can offer hope and real support to those who are ready to rebuild.

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. — Levi Spears Founder & CEO, Centipede Peer‑to‑Peer If you want, I can also create: A shorter version for GoFundMe A more emotional version A version focused on addiction recovery A version focused on homelessness outreach A version optimized for donors who don’t know you yet
