I fell in love with Lakeview when Paradise Missionary Baptist Church, under the leadership of Rev. Raymond Howard, Sr. became more than a place of worship. The whole church saved my life when they gave me a place to stay, provided on-the-job training, made sure I had food and the church mothers' rallied around me to LOVE and even babysat my son. It's beyond worship and the four walls
I fell in love with the community of people who live here and the suppport they give each other. Willingness to work to imporve their own neighborhood, and the vast diversity of the residents.
This community is my home and I love its rich history of community leaders and resilience. I enjoy working side by side with neighbors, community members and community nonprofits in keeping the OMI/Lakeview a gem in San Francisco.
