Our Team Leaders
Karina Anderson (Founder & C.E.O)
In 2010, the Obama Administration declared the vision of Opening Doors to be centered on the belief that “no one should experience homelessness, no one should be without a safe, stable place to call home.”
As a homeless person, I have lived on the sidewalks on the streets Downtown ("The Bottoms"), San Diego, without a true safe, stable place to call “home”, in daily fear of police harassment, loss of personal property, attack and felt hopeless and uncared for.
There I met and spoke and helped as I could (.e.g., homeless outreach assistance, gathering information,
or just a listening a compassionate ear to listen to all their pain and suffering they shared).
Whether caused by abuse that they have experienced in their own life, or in effort to escape the pain of abuse within their own lives, I personally witnessed the many broken, lost and/or stuck in a downward spiral of drugs and/or alcohol homeless individuals.
Many have lost trust from betrayal from institutions and/or individuals who have failed to make a true difference in their beautiful life’s.
Many embrace the belief that no one truly cares for them or can truly bring betterment into their life’s.
As a result they are silent on their issues.
There pain and suffering, as well as that within my own life drove me to make a difference within my own life, but in so many lives.
I TRULY CARE FOR ALL THOSE SUFFERING IN HOMELESS AND POVERTY, AND BELIEVE IN EACH OF YOU TO FIND THAT LIGHT, THAT LOVE, WITHIN YOU TO SHINE FOR YOUR BETTER PRESENCE AND FUTURE.
I AM WITH YOU.
YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
YOU ARE CARED FOR.
YOU MATTER.
ALL LIVES MATTERS
TOGETHER, WE CAN MAKE TRUE WORLD CHANGE WITHIN OUR OWN LIVES, BUT IN SO MANY OTHERS.
If You Ever Need A Compassionate & Listening Heart, whether you are feeling down and out. lonely, sad, or just need to talk to someone as a true friend, please feel free to call me on my direct number (619) 695-3369.
Please understand that If I don't answer directly, it is because I am at my part time retail job (until I can raise funds through website content and designing, logo design, audio production (Recording and Producing (Pro Tools and Logic Pro experienced), and art designs, so please leave a message with your name and number and I will reach out to as soon as possible.
With Unconditional Love,
Karina
Debbie Macias (Secretary & Treasurer)
Despite the personal hardships that I have experienced and endured in my own life, including but not limited to being raised in a dysfunctional family, placed in state care as a child and suffered drug addiction throughout my life, and experienced chronic homelessness,

I believe in ultimate forgiveness and the power within each of us to make catalyst change for betterment, not only within our own lives, but in the lives of others.

C4TWC MASCATS- The Handy Handful
Cali- Queen Brat
Tia Dalma (Tia)- The shy mother figure
Tia Dalma (Tia)- The shy mother figure
The first kitty to steal our hearts in May 2020 was Cali. Having seen an ad on Craigslist where someone was offering kittens from a litter, Karina's husband attempted (but failed) a surprise reveal. Her name could have been "Pretty Babies" but Cali won out.
Cali is the troublemaker of the quintet, often being where she shouldn't be. Her curiosity doesn't help, either...
She loves laying on the lap of whoever will let her at the moment, chirping when asked if she loves one or both of us!
Cali loves going outside on a harness and leash to explore and will constantly go by the door and meow to express this desire.
She and the others love peering out the windows to see the birds and other activities outside, meaning our curtains have taken a beating!
She is a daddy's girl, though she is warming up to Karina more recently. Cali is a bit of an introverted cat, and prefers her solitude, making her wishes known quite clearly if you push her buttons.

Tia joined the fray about a year after Cali, in July of 2021. A successful surprise this time, her name was chosen when Karina started saying some options out loud, and the little kitty rolled over and started purring when hearing the name, "Tia Dalma". We call her Tia for short, and boy was she living up to the name before she was snipped!
She would hide often and this was the reason for many potential panic attacks as the whole place would be practically moved around to find her. As time has passed, though, she has started to come out of her shell!
Tia is a shy kitty who tends to keep to herself but has her loving, attention-seeking days. She likes her privacy but loves coming out to seek attention- on her terms! When we try to pick her up against her will, her squeaks and struggles make you quickly let her back down.
Tia has her hands- well paws- full attempting to keep the sisters and Tivali in line. That said, she too gets her moments of playfulness and joins whoever may be zooming around in their chaos!
Tivali- The Black Beauty
Tia Dalma (Tia)- The shy mother figure
Tangie- The lovebug blepper
This beautiful black kitty came into Karina’s life one weekend in late February 2024 when a friend had inquired if she and her husband would watch her for a few days. This friend had another cat, a sister, but only wanted one and needed a break from having both around. Agreeing, they went after Karina got off work to collect the little void, bringing her to the trailer to meet the other four.
Almost instantly, this little one made her home on Karina’s bed, contentedly purring when affection would be doted on her. Overnight, Karina fell in love, and so the next day, we asked the friend if we could just keep her. This excited our friend, as her daughter was originally going to take the kitty in but had not. The sad thing is, this kitty came close to being abandoned at another campground Karina and her husband also frequented. It was only a matter of days and several choices considered before choosing Tivali- the name of Cleopatra’s cat, meaning ‘gift of the gods.’
As Tivali has gotten used to life among four other cats, she has blossomed into a crazy ball of chaos at times, but a lover at others. Being all black, she is the world champion at hide and seek (sorry Tia, but someone has taken that title from you) and scavenging (Tangie may have lost her title on this one). To a degree, she is a bit of a troublemaker like Cali or Foxie, though Cali still reigns supreme here.
With soft fur, a cute squeak/chirp combo, and the thickest tail on a normal cat Karina has seen, Tivali is one cat that is hard to stay mad at.
Tangie- The lovebug blepper

Tangie and her sister Foxie were playing together when we went to see some kittens offered on Facebook in August of 2022. They were being kept in a chicken coop which had feces everywhere. The choice was hard, as Karina was torn between the two. The owner sold us two for one ($20), sadly commenting to his wife that people weren't coming to get kittens.
Tangie is the lovebug of the group, always seeking attention (and snacks) from anyone around. She loves plastering herself to your side at night and exercises her insta-purr motor often. It's also not a rarity to see her sleeping or getting distracted from something and winding up with a bit of a blep going! So cute!
Taking after Tia, Tangie isn't always up for being held but loves to perch on your shoulders or just lay in your lap. She, like Cali, loves her outdoor time, exploring the big world outside her home.
This little kitty has a big appetite- she's always wrapping around the feet of anyone making food, begging for scraps or just a taste of what's being made. She's quite the little scavenger, and her sister is alongside her!
Foxie- "Little Babies"

Foxie- "Little Babies"
After we brought Foxie and Tangie home, it wasn't long before the plight the sisters had been in stirred something up... Karina wanted to create a sanctuary for cats to live, free from feces-covered coops or other poor living conditions, where they could be cared for and loved for their entire lives.
Instantly curious, Foxie started exploring her new surroundings. Her sister, more shy at first, took a little longer to blossom into her current self.
Foxie is a feisty youngster who loves being held, brushed, and (when she feels like it) playing fetch with a toy mouse!
She loves to roughhouse with her sister, Tangie. Foxie takes after Cali in some ways, getting in trouble often enough to earn the nickname, "Cali Jr."
Foxie seems to have two personalities- the lovebug side, or her chaotic "wild-hair-up-her-butt" status. The latter usually riles her sister up, and the two will zoom back and forth, tumbling and wrestling. This has led to scratches on anyone who happens to be in their way.
Medical Aid for the Kitties
Currently, Cali is the only one fully vaccinated, while Tangie, Foxie, and Tivali have had some of their various series, and have been microchipped. Tia still needs any shots. All five are spayed already. We are trying various treatments to eliminate and prevent fleas and potential worms in one.
Funds would contribute to the continued care of our feline mascots and any emergency medical care they may need.
As time passes and the cat sanctuary comes to fruition, these funds will be used for any other feline friends joining us!
Please include whether the funds are for medical care, the sanctuary, or any other aspect you wish to aid.
OUR FUNDING
HELP OUR MISSION-SAVE & ENRICH LIVES
This Ministry was formed “By the Homeless for the Homeless.”
Since this Ministry’s inception and as of today’s date (05/27/2024), the only community individual funding we have received has been $50.00.
ABOUT FOUNDING
Ms. Anderson (who receives limited earned income and struggles with living expenses in San Diego, California) has exclusively been funding the requirements and works (e.g., domain names, website builder, gas, electricity, copies, mailing and postage, research, web design and content writing, homeless resource, and outreach assistance) of the Ministry.
She currently operates the ministry out of a 25 foot toy hauler and has been working fulltime in a retail job for almost 4 1/2 years.
Since it's inception (2021) she has unfortunately only been able to invest limited time to fulfilling and accomplishing it's Mission, as she has been working retail and driving significant distances to get to work (despite her being blind (since birth) in one (1) eye), for over three (3) years.
Despite such, she remains true to the cause of helping the world’s people towards true world change, saving, and enriching the lives of the mass.
We pray that others, will truly recognize the great importance of this Ministry's mission, and our projected goals of helping the mass and will rise up, join, and assist by any means they can.

On March 3, 2022, we prepared a Cease and Desist regarding the inhumane treatment of homeless individuals, including the deprivation of shelter of San Diego homeless individuals.
On March 5th, 2022, Colleen Cusack Civil Attorney (who was not legally representing us with such), homeless advocate and acquittance of ours posted the Cease and Desist on her Twitter Account which yielded around 10,000 View in Two Days.
We are grateful to her and other homeless advocates like her who fight to protect the rights of the homeless who are suffering and dyeing on the streets.

April 2022-Petition to Recognize March 15th as “San Diego Homeless Memorial Day” After 3 Die
On April 24th, 2022, we filed a petition to Recognize March 15th as “San Diego Homeless Memorial Day.”
March 15th, 2022 marked the one-year anniversary of the horrific car accident which claimed the lives of three San Diego Homeless individuals (Walter Jones, Randy Ferris, and Rodney Diffendal), injuring several others (James Dysart, Thomas, Jesse, JJ, Jimmy Shorter, and Duane Crawford), and witnessed by several others (Micheal Luke, Del George, Richie, and Mike Davis). Five other victims were taken to hospitals due to severe to moderately serious injuries, and a sixth homeless person was treated at the scene. Some of these individuals claim they received improper treatment.
On March 14th 2022, the Disability Rights of California sent out an immediate email release in respects to holding a vigil on March 15th for those who were killed by the accident, and for other San Diegans who have died unhoused and unsheltered on the streets. It also was to focus on the ending of criminalization of San Diego homeless individuals and families.
In 2021, more than 400 homeless individuals died in San Diego County, more than 20% higher than 2020. The final tally of those who passed away is thought to be much higher, however.
Homelessness is the most extreme deprivation of the right to adequate housing. Sheltering oneself is not voluntary conduct; it is a basic human need, is harmless, and an act integral to the status of homelessness.
Leilani Farha, former Special Rapporteur on the right to adequate housing on homelessness, stated in 2016 that homelessness is the “failure to implement the right to adequate housing by all levels of government.” The UN Human Rights Office has pushed Member States to guarantee access to safe, affordable, and adequate housing for all.
Although most Counties’ Health and Human Services departments are legally bound to provide adult dependents with adequately heated and ventilated shelter, to protect them from health and safety hazards, (including viral ones, or being forced to live homeless on the streets with all its dangers which causes thousands of deaths) and to administer aid, care, and support to restore such persons to a condition of self-care or self-support, the County of San Diego is currently being scrutinized by the homeless. Some of these individuals, on March 3, 2022, filed a Cease & Desist for breaching that duty and recklessly endangering their lives.
Due to the County grossly failing to provide adequate shelter and housing, for many homeless in San Diego, being homeless and sheltering oneself on the streets is their only option.
It has been reported that as of January 2022, there were more homeless individuals in San Diego than the number of beds available in shelters. The number of beds is not adequate to provide safe shelter to individuals who are trying to avoid traditional homeless shelters to avoid exposure to contagions
Under Martin v. Boise … “so long as there is a greater number of homeless individuals in [a jurisdiction] than the number of available beds [in shelters],” the jurisdiction cannot prosecute homeless individuals for “involuntarily sitting, lying, and sleeping in public.”
We the surviving homeless accident victims of March 15th, 2021, other homeless San Diegans, and others call for the representatives of the County of San Diego to recognize March 15th as San Diego Homeless Memorial Day to remember not only those lives lost and injured on March 15th, but to further pay respect and honor all homeless lives lost in San Diego.
Recognize March 15th as “San Diego Homeless Memorial Day”
