From Survival to Service: The Heart Behind B’s Charitable Pursuits
People often ask why I started B’s Charitable Pursuits and Resources. The truth is, my whole life has been a series of miracles and moments where the community stepped in when I needed it most.

From surviving a rare, life-threatening staph infection at age two that only one in seven children survived, to being pulled back into a moving car by 'Daddy Jones' and having my home spared by the 1974 Xenia tornado—I’ve seen God’s protection firsthand.

Life hasn't been without its share of heartache. Losing my father suddenly and two of my brothers to suicide were the hardest chapters of my journey. But through every loss, I was never alone. I was held up by family, friends, and my church.

That’s why B’s exists today. I wanted to take the support and encouragement I’ve received throughout my life and pay it forward. We’re here to help charities and small businesses thrive, because I know that when a community comes together, miracles happen.
