This past Saturday we said our final goodbye to the old PLSF HQ and studio apartment at the corner of Geary and Hyde. 🔑🫶🏼

We took a moment to reflect on our favorite memories and how much we’ve grown throughout our time in that space.

I said a prayer that home would be a blessing to the next occupants. And hey, who knows, maybe it will be remembered in the National Museum of Pro-Life History? I mean you never know! 😆

Here’s to fully closing the page to one chapter, and turning the page to the next! 📖✍🏼

I used to love the Tenderloin, sadly, I have yet to make tender-coin, BUT the GOOD NEWS is that the Lord has provided a NEW HQ for @prolifesf 💜

After 2 years of our family of three + dog living in a studio apartment in San Francisco’s most notoriously difficult neighborhood, and 10 years of this same apartment being PLSF’s HQ, WE ARE MOVING! 🥳

➡️ Swipe to the end to see my 2025 vision board. I honestly was giving up on the dream to ever be able to move. This is truly a miracle.

When we first moved here, time and time again, I had people tell me this was a horrible neighborhood, especially to raise a family. What you may not know is the Tenderloin has San Francisco’s highest density of families because it is the most affordable. Though I’ve seen many strange things living here, I have never felt unsafe.

I will miss our neighbors from the playground to the downstairs California Smoke Shop that would always take our packages when we were away. I will miss our neighbors from across the hall who would help with our dog and the neighbors at Mid City Market. I will miss the tailor down the block and walking past all the barber shops. And oddly enough, I will miss all the kind people who would yell, “Baby coming through! God bless you, Miss!” to give all the open drug users a heads up to pause. 😆

I surely will NOT miss having to constantly look down at the sidewalk so as to avoid stepping on dog (human?) waste and all the open drug usage.

But this neighborhood, this home, is the longest we lived as a family. It’s where we brought our son to from the hospital. It’s where I saw his first steps. It’s where I wrestled with postpartum depression and breastfeeding. It’s where @ofgilda and I did a lot of planning and plotting for PLSF.

Thank you, Tenderloin for becoming my home. Perhaps you are misunderstood and neglected, but God has not forsaken you.
