In 2012, Richard Burrell met over 30 children living at The Fresno Inn, a rundown motel off Parkway Drive, and began showing up with food, kindness, and hope.Our Founder, Richard Burrell pulled into The Fresno Inn parking lot and saw children playing in an area where raw sewage drained—one of the only places their parents deemed “safe” in a neighborhood overrun by drugs, violence, and human trafficking.The Fresno Inn, located off Parkway Drive—Fresno’s epicenter for crime—housed families crammed into 150 rooms, often with three to five people sharing a space meant for one. These children were hungry for food and starving for attention. Richard and Roxanne began showing up, bringing meals, joining their games, and slowly building trust. What started as small acts of care turned into an after-school program, and from there, Live Again Fresno was born.
