Who Are We?
WE MAKE LIFE BETTER
​
​
I have been working in the community for over 20 years, with God's help providing food and shelter for the homeless and battered women and children. My goal is to create a foundation for people to know they have more power than they believe and as a community we can change things in our areas with knowledge and resources. At We Make Life Better, we believe that strengthening the foundation of the family, the father and mother, will result in stronger and better children who can build stronger families and communities. Our legacy is built around the idea of sharing and educating others to let them know their voice is important to the change and you will be heard at We Make Life Better
​
​
"Whatever makes you consciencely a better human to humanity, share and educate others so we can be a part of the solution and not the problem in this world.”
Our Why
Helping the Community
As the founder of We Make Life Better, Inc., a non-profit organization that addresses homelessness, hunger, poverty, mental health, community unity and accountability, I am passionate about helping people who are struggling but we must get the proper help to help ourselves. Over the years, I have created a Facebook community group called We Make Life Better for people to start allowing their voice to be heard concerning the injustice that happens in our communities and share their issues, receive support and resources. As a servant of God, I use my voice and platforms to advocate for the voiceless and help set the captives free.
Our Mantra: "Life is a Lesson that Teaches Us How to Be Better, and Working Together is the Only Way."
