Why I Started BU4U ❤️
I believe God made me this way for a reason.
But I also know that my life experiences taught me to notice things other people might overlook.
I’ve seen what happens when people face barriers to living independently. I’ve seen loneliness, isolation, lack of advocacy, and the feeling of being unseen affect people I love—and I’ve experienced some of those feelings myself.
So when I see a need, I have a hard time walking past it.
That’s part of the reason I founded BU4U in 2020.
BU4U was built around a simple belief:
People should have the opportunity to live as independently as possible, in the place they call home, even when life makes that difficult.
Sometimes independence looks like having someone there to help with everyday tasks.
Sometimes it means having an advocate who listens.
Sometimes it means giving a family caregiver a little breathing room.
And sometimes it’s simply knowing that someone sees you, respects you, and believes you still have something valuable to contribute.
I’ve been given experiences.
I’ve learned from them.
And I’m trying to use what I’ve learned to make somebody else’s life a little easier, a little safer, and maybe a little less lonely.
That is the heart behind BU4U.
Not just caregiving.
Helping people stay connected to their homes, their choices, their dignity, and their lives.
Maybe that’s part of why I was made the way I was.
And maybe that’s exactly what BU4U was meant to become. ❤️
