Who We Are

Meet the Founder

Meet Ana Pleasant-Ruiz, the visionary behind Pleasant Beginnings Inc., a non-profit organization dedicated to empowering underserved communities through mental health support, job training, life skills, and housing services. Raised in a low-income, minority family, Ana's upbringing shaped her belief that your past doesn't dictate your future. As the CEO of Pleasant Beginnings Foundation, Ana leads the charge in providing shelter and home care services to the vulnerable homeless population, fostering independence and positive change. She takes pride in offering job training, housing for homeless, competitive pay, and continuing education to underserved communities. In 2021, Ana's dream became a reality with the founding of Pleasant Beginnings Inc., which swiftly gained 501(c)(3) status in April of the same year. Join us in supporting Ana's mission to make a meaningful impact on the lives of those in need.
