A sanctuary of peace.
Humble Beginnings and Medicine Wheels is home to Susie's Sanctuary, a place that offers a 24/7 solution to a 24/7 problem. At Humble Beginnings, we run a community resource available to the disenfranchised here on the Monterey Peninsula, and it is the only program of its kind in the world. Humble Beginnings & Medicine Wheels was founded in November 2011, and have catered to numerous disenfranchised which we call our clients. The Sanctuary also serves as a distribution hub for donations in order to insure the local disenfranchised client can receive aid when they need it most, NOW!
Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory is the impetus of this proactive approach, which is to assist an individual in their quest for independence. I, Thomas Toloy, founder & CEO of Humble Beginnings & Medicine Wheels is proud to bring this Project to the Monterey Peninsula.
Please help keep this dream alive and honor Susie Ellis. Susie was a Former Monterey Salinas Transit Driver whom I met 4 years ago . Susie was a kind, gentle, generous person with a presence that deserves to be remembered for supporting my foundation and the bike program. She offered her house to be used as a communtiy resource center in her quest to see true change felt in our community. Susie Ellis passed away on April 30,2018.
