Jayce’s story is just one example of what’s possible when we come together as a community. And there are so many more men still waiting for their chance to step out of survival mode and into stability.

This isn’t just about money. It’s about dignity. Purpose. A chance at life again.

If you’ve been considering getting involved or if you’d like to make another gift to help us cross the finish line…

During this weeks final push, you will find out exactly how to donate and what your donations will help us accomplish.

With your help, I know we’ll reach our goal and continue showing men like Jayce that their past does not define them and that this community believes in their future.

Gratefully,
Will Smith
Founder, LIFE Foundation

Letter From Will Smith

Hello,

Today, I’m reaching out because we have an important opportunity in front of us, and we truly can’t do it without your help.

We’re just $6,000 away from funding a critical phase of our work: rehabilitating homeless men and equipping them with the life skills, training, and support they need to get off the streets and stay off.

Let me tell you the story of Jayce. Not long ago, Jayce was living in the woods, struggling to survive each day. Today, he’s found safety and hope as the newest member in our House of Hope program. With his personal dedication and the support of our team, partners like Hope’s Kitchen Mission and others, Jayce now has a roof over his head, hot meals, fresh clothing, and the encouragement he needs to rebuild his life with dignity.

Will Smith is the Founder of LIFE Foundation. Once a homeless teen who spent time incarcerated, he earned his diploma with help from the TICO training institute, served in the armed forces, and became a respected advocate for homelessness prevention and affordable housing.
