Mei Bautista returns to give updates on how being on the show last year has given her voice back. In Mei’s own words, she “suffered bouts of homelessness throughout her life and continues to push forward through many years of trauma since childhood." She recognizes that healing is not linear; she is actively trying to rise above her challenges and create a better future. In remembrance of her stepfather who died while living on the streets, she created Humanitote. For every bag sold, Mei donates a Humanitote bag to Interfaith filled with toiletries which are given directly to Humans experiencing homelessness. Humanitote also gives Mei hope as she sews each bag. Mei hopes to reunite with her five younger siblings who were taken away and adopted over ten years ago and she puts out a call to anyone who can help with reunification services. Mei will be at Change Your Mind this Saturday May 6th with Humanitote for the 2nd year in a row! You can also support by visiting her store, Daydream Here in Escondido, at 227 E. Grand Ave and by following Humanitote on Instagram @humanitote.
