💛 Jen & Philip’s Journey: A Home with Purpose

💛 Jen & Philip’s Journey: A Home with Purpose
3457 Forbes St, Santa Clara
All are created equal in human dignity — but not all are born into equal circumstances. Jen & Philip were raised with humble means and understand firsthand the hardship life can bring, especially when circumstances are beyond our control.
After building a life in Santa Clara for over 20 years, they feel incredibly blessed to have called this safe, welcoming, and vibrant community home. And now, as they prepare for their next chapter closer to family, their focus is on something much bigger than a home sale — it’s about making a lasting impact.
Jen & Philip have partnered with International Crisis Aid Inc., a nonprofit they’ve supported for years. What began with food relief in South Sudan has grown into a global mission providing emergency medical care, clean water, housing, nutrition, and rescue operations — especially for women and children affected by human trafficking and severe poverty. One of the most powerful initiatives includes helping girls trapped in red light districts receive counseling, job training, and the support needed to begin a new life.
Their connection to this cause is deeply personal.
“We believe homes should carry stories beyond their walls. For us, this sale is an opportunity to give back, to change lives, to bring hope where it’s needed most.” — Jen & Philip
“Ever since we had enough income to cover our basic needs, we wanted to give back to society — to those less fortunate.” — Jen & Philip
Years ago, they donated a home in Southern California to help expand Crisis Aid’s hospital. Now, they’re continuing that mission by donating a significant portion of the sale proceeds from their Santa Clara home to further Crisis Aid’s work — from providing medical care and food to safe housing and vocational training.
