Holy Smoke loves their homeless friends, and has seen many get out of the tunnels and go on to live happy, productive lives. Sometimes they don’t ever get out but they are still their for them. One to mention is Irish. First time the misfits met him, Irish was carrying a club as a weapon. He has lived in the tunnels under Caesar’s Palace for six years. As a child, Irish and his brothers were abandoned in the Streets of Philadelphia. Later, he joined the Marines and dealt with war trauma. If that wasn’t enough, Irish’s own son was murdered.

Irish still lives in the tunnels, but he is the first one to step between a thug and someone who is weak. When the Misfits are down below he looks out for their safety. Tragedy and trauma is a major cause of the homeless epidemic. The need for better mental health care is paramount to the cause. Holy Smoke is helping to bridge this gap.

When Holy Smoke’s founder, Nevada licensed minister, public speaker, comedian, Doc Love was a teenager his mother was an advocate for the homeless. Doc says, he was to shallow to care at that time. Since he started Holy Smoke, Doc spread some of his mother’s ashes beneath Caesar’s Palace. Irish asked to spread some of her ashes. The homeless vet then got down on his knees to pray.

Working together with caring individuals like yourself and the Las Vegas community, Holy Smoke will fulfill its vision to substantially help better lives of those who desperately need our love and support.
