“No Address” Movie Benefits Trujillo’s Nonprofit
From college to high schools to the red carpet, sophomore Daysha Trujillo is making her mark. Creating the nonprofit Trukidz at just 13 years old, Trujillo’s effort to bring hygiene kits to unhoused students and students in need is getting a major boost.
That’s because Trukidz is one of five nonprofit organizations to receive 50% of proceeds from the film “No Address” currently in theatres nationwide. The film addresses the bleak hardships of homelessness and the sadness surrounding the stories of those on the streets. Inspired by true events, the story aims to show the realities of homelessness coupled with the hope these populations can have when humankind works together to approach the issue with kindness and love.
Featuring actors including William Baldwin, Ashanti, Xander Berkley, Lucas Jade Zumann, and Ty Pennington, Trujillo had the opportunity to be an “extra” in the film which enabled her to meet the producers of Robert Craig Films, a production company located in Placer County. The film is shot among the greater Sacramento region with recognizable backdrops and landmarks woven throughout the two-hour film.
On February 27, 2025, Trujillo attended the Placer County premiere of the movie with a special red carpet event at the United Artists theatre in Roseville. There, producers from Robert Craig Films joined Trujillo and other supporters including Jessup students as well as Jessup President, John Jackson. Trujillo addressed the audience, thanking them for their support while continuing her cause to fight the perils facing those who are unhoused.
Robert Craig Films also produced a documentary entitled, “Americans With No Address,” a music album, a book and an interactive resource guide all focused on inspiring action when it comes to unhoused communities across the country. Proceeds from all of the projects, known as the “Big Five Giveback,” go to five local area nonprofits and Trukidz is one of them.
Over the years, Trujillo has grown her nonprofit by building relationships with schools and school districts to host packing events to assemble essential items such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, feminine products, combs, soap bars, lip balm, shampoo, and conditioners.
Although Trujillo is busy as a biochemistry major and preparing to be a Give:24 Ambassador for the University’s digital day of giving on March 24, she still makes time to grow her efforts to reach an ever-increasing number of students.
Later this month, Trujillo is hosting the third packing event on Jessup’s campus. This time, some of the Sacramento Kings players will combine their efforts with Jessup’s men’s basketball team to pack kits. Destined to be a memorable event, all for a worthy cause.
Last fall Trujillo assembled some Sacramento Kings cheerleaders to partner with Jessup’s cheer teams for a similar packing event. In fall of 2023, she recruited members of Jessup’s baseball team and other students to participate in the inaugural packing event on campus, resulting in the assembly of 1,000 kits, 40 of which went to Jessup students.
