From Santa Monica Close Up:

"Venice Beach Boardwalk cleanup encountered a hurdle as Venice Healer Daisy stood firm at her tiny home location. Despite requests from Los Angeles Park Rangers to move her belongings for the cleanup operation, Daisy chose not to comply. The Rangers, opting against using force, allowed Daisy and a few other individuals to remain, redirecting their cleanup efforts to other areas of the beach and boardwalk.

The cleanup, a routine operation carried out every Friday, is a collaboration between the Department of Public Works and Recreation and Parks, along with Action Cleanup Environmental Services. While Action Cleanup handles the sorting of hazardous materials like batteries and syringes, Public Works deals with non-hazardous waste, part of the city's broader homelessness strategy focusing on public health and safety.

Venice Healer Daisy said that Fox News was just coming to make fun of her and since they were not going to let her do a real interview, she was going to troll them. Fox only ended up using a few clips of what Daisy said. This is the full "interview" where Fox News' Jesse Watters talks to her through an earpiece they gave her (there were only cuts made to this video remove the times homeboy on his pedicab passed by playing copyrighted music that Youtube does not allow).

"On Friday, March 1, 2024, an impromptu gathering unfolded on the Venice Beach Boardwalk, featuring Venice Healer Daisy. Despite a recent injury that left her with a broken foot, necessitating the use of a wheelchair, Daisy engaged in heartfelt discussions with a local Venice Sage and a Monk. The incident leading to her injury occurred during a dance performance, where an ambitious jumping twirl resulted in a hard landing and a subsequent fracture.

Amidst sharing insights on healing and community, Daisy also opened up about a personal chapter of her life. She detailed a recent marriage proposal she made to a man she refers to as her new "Turkish King," revealing that her offer was not accepted. Daisy provided an elaborate account of their exchange, shedding light on her experiences with love and rejection. This meeting not only highlighted the resilience and spirit of a community figure but also touched on the universal themes of love, loss, and the search for meaning."

From Santa Monica Close Up:

"On Wednesday, February 14, Venice Healer Daisy recently presented a puppet show on the Venice Beach Boardwalk that captured the hearts of onlookers. Through the narrative of her show, she conveyed a powerful message about possession, forgiveness, and the strength of community.

The performance began with a puppet discovering a golden jewel, which led to a brief conflict when its original owner appeared. However, the situation quickly resolved with an apology and a lesson in trust and friendship. The puppets discussed the difficulties of living outdoors and the need for supportive relationships to create safety and strength in numbers.

The show took a turn when it depicted the struggles faced by the homeless community, particularly the disruption caused by city actions, such as the removal of their belongings. Daisy's puppets rallied together, emphasizing unity and the importance of being part of a tribe to face the challenges of displacement and enforcement.

In a whimsical twist, Daisy introduced a character based on Sergeant McAdams, using humor to address the tensions between the homeless community and local authorities. The 'Superhero Squad' was called to remind everyone, including the officer, of the inherent love and worth in all individuals.

Daisy's performance ended on a high note, promoting the concept of her tribe and extending an open invitation to the audience to join in solidarity. Her puppet show not only entertained but also offered a glimpse into her philosophy of love, community, and social advocacy. "

From Santa Monica Close Up:

"On Wednesday, January 7, 2024, members of the Venice Safe Team were observed escorting an individual away from the Venice Beach Boardwalk in the direction of Santa Monica. The intervention came after reports emerged of the man engaging in lewd behavior in front of women at the boardwalk. The Venice Safe Team, a unit dedicated to maintaining peace and safety in the area, followed the man as he moved from Venice into Santa Monica.

The Venice Safe Team operates daily, with winter hours set from 6:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m., and is instrumental in preserving order at Venice Beach. The team's duties are wide-ranging, covering routine patrols, engaging with the public, managing risks, and responding to various safety concerns and non-emergency incidents in cooperation with local police and emergency services. Their mandate extends to tackling issues such as trespassing, vandalism, public intoxication, and aggressive behavior, as well as ensuring adherence to local laws and policies designed to protect the well-being of both visitors and residents of Venice Beach."

From Santa Monica Close Up:

Daisy was observed today, February 3, 2024, engaging in the reconstruction of her tiny home project on the Venice Beach Boardwalk. Despite recent setbacks, including the disposal of personal belongings and building materials by city clean-up crews, Daisy remains undeterred.

During the rebuild, she explained, "This new tiny home is more than shelter; it's about dignity for my friends who have been displaced." Outlining her vision, Daisy shared that the 4 by 8-foot vendor cart on wheels is designed for an unhoused couple known to the community, who've faced hardships on the boardwalk.

Daisy emphasized the practicality of her design, which allows for easy mobility, especially in areas she refers to as "no man's land" where larger wheels are unnecessary. She also mentioned plans to construct several more vendor carts, each 3 by 8 feet, tailored for unhoused individuals familiar to the local community.

Her initiative is not just a response to immediate housing needs but is deeply rooted in her philosophy of finding a balance with nature and reducing the ecological footprint. She contrasts the temporary nature of her tiny homes with the permanent structures that dominate urban landscapes.

Daisy's ultimate goal is to support her community while awaiting a societal shift back to natural living through the advancement of technology. "These tiny homes are about giving my friends the energy, time, and autonomy they need," she said.

With a clear vision, Daisy is set to continue her work, not just rebuilding homes but fostering a sense of community and connection to the environment among those who call the beach their home."

On Wednesday, January 24, 2024, a team of 10 Los Angeles Police Officers, two Park Rangers, and the Chief of the Los Angeles Park Rangers approached Daisy with an important message regarding her three tiny homes. These homes, created as a compassionate response to homelessness, faced scrutiny under city ordinances related to street performers and vendors."

From Santa Monica Close Up:

"Following her commendable efforts in building a tiny home for the homeless on Venice Beach Boardwalk, Venice Healer Daisy showcased her creation in a unique manner on January 13, 2024. This local innovator not only gave a tour of the freshly constructed tiny home, but also utilized the space to perform a thought-provoking puppet show.

Daisy, along with a group of dedicated friends, had initially transformed an old cart into a tiny home set on wheels for easy relocation along the Venice Beach Boardwalk. This initiative was a significant step towards providing dignified and functional living spaces for those without homes. The community gathered to witness the fruits of their labor, as Daisy led them through the ins and outs of the compact yet comfortable abode.

The event took an artistic turn when Daisy performed a puppet show from within the tiny home. This performance depicted the plight of the homeless on the Venice Beach Boardwalk, specifically focusing on their encounters with the Los Angeles Police during boardwalk clean-ups. This narrative, drawn from Daisy's personal experiences, shed light on the challenges faced by the homeless community in their daily lives.

Through this creative expression, Daisy not only highlighted the struggles of the homeless but also the need for empathy and understanding from the broader community. Her puppet show served as a powerful tool for advocacy, bringing to life the stories of those often overlooked."

"In a display of community spirit and innovation, Venice Healer Daisy dedicated her Friday to building tiny homes for the homeless on the Venice Beach Boardwalk. With a team of supportive friends, Daisy repurposed an old cart, transforming it into a functional and dignified living space for those without a home.

"This project is about giving dignity to people who live outside," Daisy shared while working on the tiny home. She explained how a simple cart, formerly belonging to a man named Ken, was being converted into what will be Yoshi's new tiny home. The design includes walls that can be raised or lowered, ensuring that residents have the option of an ocean view – a luxury even for those with a home.

Daisy emphasized the importance of dignity in addressing homelessness, stating, "If we give dignity to friends who live outside, it suddenly looks pretty good to live outside." She envisions a shift from a life of scarcity to one of abundance and fellowship. The tiny home project, costing only $100, demonstrates how community support and minimal resources can create impactful solutions."
