We make your Story... our Story!
The We Help Foundation started in 2007 as a project with the city of Jacksonville helping inner city families in the HUD rental program become home owners. Since then, we've expanded our footprint to cover northeast Florida. Our goal is to build healthier communities by fostering happiness and prosperity through our housing, transportation and personal development programs.
As Americans, we know that we live in a diverse country where immigrants and their children comprise nearly 60% of the population. We see variety everywhere in race, religion, age, financial disposition in life, etc. Yet, most of the time, we know very little about the real human stories behind these different groups of people. Isn't it these stories, when combined that give our community its identity?
Every community is made up of ordinary people with different stories with one common theme. We all want to be happier and more prosperous.
"87% of the population say that they are barely surviving"
THRIVE - to flourish, to do well and prosper. One who is thriving is making steady progress in improving one's well-being.
The question is how do you go from surviving to thriving? Is there a secret formula?
FORMULA - a plan or method for doing, making or achieving something. A list of various parts that when put together produce something spectacular. When a formula is created, it's usually to solve a problem, it is then used repeatedly to achieve consistent and often better results. It can be ideas that work together to define a procedure to be followed for a desired outcome.
FORMULA TO THRIVE
OK, so what is the one desired outcome we all have in common? We all want to be happier and prosperous, right? We all want to thrive not survive.
If there was such a formula to prosperity and happiness what would you do with it?
Here, at the We Help Foundation, we're on a mission to create a formal system that can help you thrive in your life.
The question is; what does housing, transportation and personal development got to do with you thriving?
"Happiness is... caring more than others think is wise; risking more than others think is safe; dreaming more than others think is practical."
...Winston Churchill

What do we all have in common that if improved upon could make the greatest amount of impact in our collective well-being?
We all require a roof over our head ("housing") and we all have to get from one point to another ("transportation"). These two impact our well-being as a society more than any other. The house you call home and the vehicle everybody sees you in. These two necessities determine how we feel about ourselves; our self confidence and self-worth. How can we prosper if we don't like where we live and what we drive? How can we be happy when we're stressed over the financial debt of our house and our car?
Without a doubt, the quality of one's well-being comes from the degree at which these two needs are met and improved upon.
Many other organizations help the community in areas like distributing food, providing counseling services, workshops and general education, the list of assistance programs are vast.
While these services certainly are needed in our community, they represent a small portion of the over all solution. Think of it in terms of building an infrastructure with big blocks and little blocks.
The big blocks are used to build up the structure FIRST and then the little blocks are layered in and around the big blocks which produces a solid structure that won't easily be torn down by the winds of adversity.
This is where your story becomes our story.
We believe in helping you secure home ownership and reliable transportation on favorable terms, FIRST. Then, through our personal development program we will layer in the secondary services helping you fill in the gaps. We believe this is the formula to helping you thrive. Your happy story is our happy story. Your success is our success.
We have the know-how, resources and desire to see you achieve your goals. All you have to do is make the decision to take our help and then go after it.

"For someone who helps people for a living, let me tell you. WE ALL ARE A HOT MESS. If you think for a second that you're the only person having issues, struggles and facing adversity; just stop it! You're not the only one... we are all facing one battle or another. You got to keep pushing and fighting. It won't be easy, it never is. If it were, everybody would have it. Start investing in yourself and have faith that it is worth it."
