Baltimore's Budget:

Put Our Youth First

Destiny's Dream Scholarship Fund

On December 21, 2019, Destiny was senselessly gunned down in front of her young daughter in her salon. To honor her legacy, barbers, beauticians and community members have created the Destiny's Dream Scholarship fund to support students in the Mervo Cosmetology program.

The scholarship will award $1,000 to five students each year to help cover expenses for uniforms, board certifications and the beauty kit each student needs to purchase to participate in the program. Please help fund this scholarship in Destiny’s memory. Together, we can heal our city and work to break the cycle of trauma and violence that stole Destiny from us.

Community-Based

COVID-19 Response

During what is arguably the most challenging period in our lifetime, it is more important than ever for Baltimoreans to unite. We face a deadly virus that threatens to tear us apart. Necessary distancing leaves our most vulnerable residents isolated without access to emotional support. In this moment of crisis, we refuse to turn our backs on our neighbors. 

The Baltimore Neighbors Network provides a virtual community of volunteers to offer hope, comfort and social solidarity. We also enlist pro bono clinicians to help address the looming mental health crisis that COVID-19 will create. Baltimore's greatest asset is our people. WE are the medicine.
