SUPPORT FOR THE HOMELESS
In support of the Brightening Lives Foundation’s Mission, we have focused our activities in this very desperate pandemic time to support the homeless by funding and assisting the Multi-Service Center South homeless center which is San Francisco’s largest and most extensive homeless shelter (MSC South). Leading this program for the Brightening Lives Foundation will be our President and Director, Sung Jin Ingriselli. We are also directing funding the “Blankets for the Homeless” program. Please support us in this life saving effort by contributing to the Brightening Lives Foundation.

Our Mission
We focus on three major charitable areas.
These areas are: improving the environment, making it easier for the poor or handicapped to attain basic necessities, and to provide healthcare and education to people who cannot afford it.

Basic Necessities
The availability of food and water is something that people in rich nations take for advantage. In poorer countries food and water is often too expensive to buy and the nearest river is often polluted and is hours away. We support charities that will help to provide water and food for impoverished peoples.
Health & Education
We aim to fund charities that help to provide healthcare or other forms of care and education to people around the world who lack the ability to afford such care. We have the philosophy that every human life has equal worth. The life of an impoverished child in a developing country is as precious as the life of a middle-class child in a developed one. A family struggling to make ends meet in an American inner city matters as much as a family thriving in a safe, suburban neighborhood.
Environment
Ever since the industrial revolution, people have been concerned about the detrimental effects that industrialization has on the environment. We have made it our duty to help organizations that are trying to reduce the terrible effects that industrialization has had on the environment while attempting to still maintain efficiency and high production.
Our Process
We were inspired by the book The Life You Can Save by Peter Singer. This book taught us the moral benefits and the most effective way of donating to a charity.
