A Heartwarming Mission: How You Can Transform Lives with Susie’s Angel


Imagine a world where every woman has the chance to rewrite her story and every child grows up with a smile that’s full of hope. This isn’t just a dream; it’s the everyday mission of Susie’s Angel, a life-changing program under Help Keep Me Out The Streets, Inc. (HKMOTS). Through love, compassion, and an unshakable commitment to helping those in need, Susie’s Angel is rewriting destinies and nurturing futures.


But here’s the thing—they can’t do it alone. That’s where you come in.



Meet the Heart Behind the Cause


Susie’s Angel was born out of a legacy of generosity and a heart full of love. Carolyn Oglesby, the founder, grew up watching her mother feed not only her family of 11 daughters but also neighbors and friends who had nowhere else to turn. Carolyn’s mother lived by one mantra: giving to others is the greatest gift.


When Carolyn lost her mother at just 16, she vowed to carry on her mother’s legacy of selfless service. Fast forward to 2005, and Susie’s Angel became her way of honoring her mother’s memory and spreading her values to those in need.




One of Susie’s Angel’s most impactful initiatives is the "Home 4 the Winter" campaign, an ambitious project aimed at purchasing Barrows Villa, a safe haven for women and children. But this isn’t just a shelter—it’s a launchpad. At Barrows Villa, families don’t just find warmth; they find opportunities to rebuild their lives.


Through vocational training, career counseling, and community programs, women are empowered to reclaim their independence. Meanwhile, children are surrounded by nurturing environments that allow them to learn, grow, and thrive. This isn’t just about survival; it’s about transformation.


The expansion of Barrows Villa is driven by the urgent need to provide safety, support, and resources to an increasing number of women and children facing homelessness, domestic violence, and poverty. As the demand for shelter and services continues to grow, our current facilities are no longer sufficient to meet the needs of those seeking help. The purpose of this expansion is to break the cycles of poverty and abuse that trap so many, creating a foundation where women can rebuild their lives and children can thrive in a stable, nurturing environment. Beyond serving immediate needs, Barrows Villa represents a legacy of hope, ensuring that future generations have access to the tools and support they need to succeed. Together, we can make this vision a reality and continue transforming lives, one family at a time.
