My Story…
I believe homeownership is still the #1 way families build wealth in the United States. I was born with the ability to make financial choices because of wealth acquired by my parents and their parents before me.
I run (walk in my case) to raise money so that others who have been historically excluded from generational wealth can have the same opportunity. Open Hand Ministries provides a way for Black and other poor families to become mortgage ready and able to purchase equity-building real estate. It is a slow process and takes place one family at a time, but making wealth possible for just one family now means their children and grandchildren will have similar choices as I have had.
To me, this is the most powerful change I can make. Please help me reach my goal of $1,000.
