You Matter Too https://www.youmattertoo2017.org/
“You Matter Too” was founded in November of 2017 after Nicole Mayfield became fed up with seeing her social media timeline inundated with stories about children committing suicide because of being bullied. "I am where I am today because God put compassion in my heart to reach out to kids that were/are victims of bullying to show them that they are special, loved, needed, belonged and that someone cares about them. I wanted to help build their self-esteem and confidence no matter what negativity and mean things the bullies made them believe about themselves that isn’t the truth."
Zuri's Circle https://www.zuriscircle.org/
Even though Zuri’s family was already doing things to give back in the community before she was even born, Zuri transformed the very way that we would impact homeless and families moving forward. With limited funding we began assisting homeless individuals providing them with water, hygiene and food to help ease the struggles they were dealing with on the streets. As we began to see so much need not just for homeless but for families our dedication to giving back, both on the streets and in the communities where we lived grew. We then started organizing in a way to help assist families that were struggling bringing to life our annual feed the community event.
Zuri’s Circle became a 501c3 officially in 2014 giving us the opportunity to connect with other nonprofits in the community and the opportunity grow to provide programs for youth. Zuris Circle is work is aimed at helping homeless with their essential needs (water, food and clothing), assisting families and elderly with furniture, everyday essentials, school supplies, uniforms and food as needed, also by directing them to a database of other resources that can provide rent, medical, and dental assistance. Our goal is to provide empowerment for youth, teens, and adults through activities, programs and interactive camps.
