Here we are at Rain Forrest Cafe at The Scottsdale Mall , meeting for the first time.
I really loved meeting with Street Team Members from all over the United States and finding out the many hidden talents this group has!The meeting,  was so powerful, during our meeting a monsoon hit tearing tiles off the Arizona University. Knocking power out to nearby homes.
Here is some Information on all these wonderful  women, I learned from our Meeting.

Sara Jouret -
 Street Team Member-
 Was so compelled to make it to the Phoenix Finale to meet with Jimmy Wayne she actually sold personal poessions to buy  her  airline ticket. has recently over came being homeless herself, and through her church is helping foster teens help themselves.  I was especially thrilled to meet her! We also shared a moment, when Jimmy Wayne,sang,Sara Smile, I  pinched her and she said "owe"!! and I said your not dreaming! you're really here!

Felica Kiser-
Virginia Street Team Coordinator-
 Known her for awhile, through  twitter, been in a couple my slide shows, always thinking of ways to support Jimmy Wayne, this would be her second time to walk with Jimmy. she ended up walking at the front of the pack the whole way! she logged over 20 miles last walk and I know she  trekked over 20 miles this time.

Cheryl Gillman-
Arizona Street Team Coordinator-
Wow! I was really and truly impressed! First time meeting Cheryl as soon as I landed she was tweeting me, to meet for lunch, boy am I glad I did. this woman needs to be cloned! I had no idea, all the time, energy , and resources this woman has! in one hour I learned more from her, in one hour! than all my time put together as a Street Team Member. The information I received from her is priceless. She has been supporting Homebase in so many ways, she has cards for car washes she hands out and when you use Homebase gets 10% for just showing the card! She joins the Homebase medical teams and goes out on the streets! I am proud to call her friend! alias Angel.

Tina Trevarthen-
West Coast Street Team Member
Tina has supported Jimmy Wayne in many ways, All her vehicles have Magnetic signs that have Jimmy's picture and website on. We hand carried from Ione, Ca. to Phoenix, and were proudly displayed on our rental van. That's how Jimmy spotted us in Payson, AZ. She also has done numerous walks in support for Foster care. Waynes walk, (10 mile) Supported Jimmy at the Capital (3mile walk) worked the first MMH table at the capital.  She works closely with Wind Youth Services in Sacramento, Ca. http://www.windyouth.org/donate.asp
 I am very honored to call my friend!

Lauren Trevarthen-
WEST Coast Street Team Member
Lauren's  mission is to support Jimmy Wayne.  She has done numerous walks!  fund raisers! promotes J.W were ever he goes she has  a smile on her face and his pictures on her tray at all times ! She participated in Wayne's Walk, Supporting J.W. at the State Capital, Went to Tennessee and walked with Jimmy and LTC. Garkey for her Birthday March 8.  She is the most popular Street Team Member and almost more popular than Jimmy Wayne himself. She is my Best Girl  Friend and she has taught me so much!
and I am especially proud to call her my friend! she is Amazing!

Alyssa Taylor-
Street Team Member
The story Alyssa told, about herself, was one of the most interesting, she has worked a long with her mom for Casa. casa.org She was very modest, almost embarrassed to explain to us, that this was her families way of life. Taking in ,aged out youth and working together with her church that actually goes out to homeless shelters finds teens her are on the brink of homelessness and finds them foster homes and necessities . 
Her Heart is as big as she is Tall ! I'm honored to call her my friend!

  1. Aweee ... sweet sweet blog, Devvi. You're so kind and selfless yourself!!! You too are worthy of mention, so let me help! I don't think I can be as well spoken as you, but I'll try... here goes ...
    Devvi Silva
    West Coast Street Team Member
    Devvi is a big time supporter of Project MMH and Jimmy Wayne. She has traveled with Tina and Lauren to many MMH events all over CA and to AZ. Without Devvi, MMH life wouldn't be the same. Her videos and blogs tell stories from behind the scenes that would otherwise go unnoticed. She is so attentive to other peoples needs. She is an amazing friend to Lauren and Tina, making sure they have all the help they need ... not because she has to, but because she has a huge heart and loves them. She calls me an Angel, but unbeknownst to her, SHE is the Angel ... not only supporting MMH, but also her friends and everyone involved and beyond. She's always thinking of others and what she can do to make the world a better place for all. You can't beat that in a true friend and dedicated volunteer ... I'm so very proud to call her MY friend!

    Love ya Dev!!! ... Cheryl
