Athena Hayley

After overcoming homelessness in both Los Angeles and Las Vegas, Athena Hayley set out on a mission to pay it forward. Never one to give up, Athena rented out the living room of her apartment once she was off the streets, just so she could make ends meet and put aside some money to start the 'Love My Neighbor Foundation.' The trials and tribulations Hayley has faced, from losing her 29-year-old brother to leukemia, escaping abusive relationships, and overcoming the fear of abandonment, give her the energy, passion, and strength to lead the 'Love My Neighbor Foundation.' For the last five years, Athena Hayley has been like family to the residents at the infamous Skid Row, one of the most dangerous places in downtown LA. Through her organization, she helps feed & clothe the Skid Row homeless community.
