Tosh grew up in Minneapolis in a family of 9—with 6 brothers and 1 sister. He attended film school at The Art Institute Intl. MN in 2010. While there, he also performed as a professional hip hop dancer. He joined the United States Marine Corps in 2012 and served honorably for four years. He currently lives in Blaine with his two sons.

Tosh is happy to be part of the Small Sums team! Being here is a full circle experience because he faced homelessness as a child and can empathize with what clients are going through. It is comforting to know that programs like Small Sums exist and rewarding to be part of such an impactful organization!

Eurell has worked most of his life in retail, restaurants or with kids in local community programs. He joined the Small Sums client services team in 2019 and is the first warm and welcoming smile our clients encounter as they arrive. He loves working with people and acts as our on-site tailor, putting his experience at a formal wear shop to good use when he gets the chance to hem pants, ensuring each client has a perfect fit. He is from Chicago and grew up in a big family who loves celebrating holidays, birthdays and important milestones together. He enjoys all types of music, cooking, binge watching Netflix shows and spending time with his friends.

Tera hopes to continue to work closely with clients, listen intentionally to their stories, and nurture relationships with our many partners working to end homelessness in the Twin Cities. She currently lives in Saint Paul with her roommate and their new kitten, Nell. In her free time, Tera enjoys exploring parks and running with Mile in My Shoes.
