At every stage in life, there are numerous challenges that present themselves. People endure hardships that impede their ability to flourish and succeed.

Mental health and wellness is crucial for the success and growth of all individuals within a community. However, a constant hurdle has been the stigma that surrounds the issue. It is important for anyone dealing with a mental health issue - as well as their family, friends and community - to realize that mental health issues are common and must be addressed properly and without prejudice.
The Organization will provide several programs to help alleviate the pains of mental health issues in the community. It will work to connect anyone suffering from any mental illness with the care provider that can provide the needed help. The Organization will also carry on awareness campaigns to reduce the stigma and prejudice usually associated with mental illness.

Poverty is often an underlying or exacerbating cause of illness. Even before birth, the actions, health, and financial position of parents can impact the health of the individual. Poverty can continue to impact an individual's health throughout their lives. Numerous studies have shown significant correlations between health and wealth, race, and ethnicity.
The Organization will address these issues by providing education campaigns and assistance.
Pregnant women and new mothers are especially able to benefit from increased awareness of the effects of diet and nutrition on the health of their families.
The Organization will also work with medical professionals to provide health clinics to the community. These clinics will range from physical exams and testing, to cancer screenings, to vaccination.

Domestic abuse and exploitation are the most common form of violence in the United States. A healthy and prospering community cannot be built on violence and abuse. As such, we seek to help protect individuals against abuse, especially in the home.
The Organization will work to raise awareness about the evil of domestic violence and abuse. Normalization is an underlying cause of abuse, and awareness can help alleviate that. It can also alleviate any feeling of shame or cultural pressure that the victim might be feeling.
The Organization will also work to connect the victims of abuse to local shelters. We will also help victims obtain the necessary legal services to protect against violence and restore a healthy life.

The Organization will provide a number of programs to help alleviate the pains of poverty from the local community. It will coordinate drives to provide food, clothing, and shelter for the poor and disadvantaged. The Organization will work with other local and national organizations in pursuit of this goal.
