Desert Aid Services
At Desert Aid, we believe that everyone deserves access to compassionate, quality care — no matter their circumstances. Our mission is to bridge the gap between healthcare and the people who need it most, especially those living in vulnerable or underserved communities. We meet people where they are — on the streets, in shelters, and throughout our neighborhoods — offering direct support, health education, and critical first aid to those often left behind by traditional systems. By addressing both physical and mental health needs, we’re building trust, promoting dignity, and creating pathways to long-term wellness. Through our Community Health and Outreach Program, we also equip everyday people with lifesaving skills and knowledge, empowering communities to care for one another. Public education, outreach, and compassion are at the heart of everything we do — because real change starts with understanding, action, and a shared commitment to humanity.

In March 2023, our founder began delivering street medicine services to unhoused individuals and refugees living on the streets of downtown El Paso. What started with simple acts of care quickly grew into a mission that now spans across El Paso County and beyond. Since then, we have reached hundreds of people—providing direct aid to those living on the streets, in shelters, and in underserved areas across El Paso, Roswell, Ruidoso, and even Juarez, Mexico.

Our work highlights a glaring gap in access to basic healthcare and first aid within our communities. As a street medicine organization, our mission is to bridge that gap by bringing essential care directly to people where they are—through street outreach, disaster relief efforts, and collaboration with local organizations.

Today, we focus on basic first aid, prevention, and education. Our vision is to expand our reach and resources by working alongside others who share our commitment to improving healthcare access. Together, we are building a future where quality care is available to everyone, no matter their circumstances.
