Our Story

Our purpose is deeply rooted in compassion and a desire to make a positive impact in the world. We financially assist those who find themselves in catastrophic need, whether it be due to house fires, personal tragedies, or other unforeseen circumstances. We aim to be a beacon of hope, offering a financial grant to help individuals during emergent needs.

Our Mission

Changing Lives Foundation exists to provide hope, compassion, and financial support directly to individuals who have experienced a catastrophic life event and have nowhere else to turn.

Our Vision

To spread the spirit of giving, service, and love to and for fellow humankind, regardless of race, religion, age, or gender.

“For I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat. I was thirsty, and you gave me something to drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me in.” Matthew 25:35
