From Searching for Home and Helping Others Find It

The personal journey and purpose behind Get Them Home Inc.

Get Them Home did not begin as a business plan or a carefully mapped nonprofit concept. It began with a personal journey—one marked by housing instability, uncertainty, faith, and the need to discover what home truly means.

I know what it feels like to live without the security of knowing where home will be next. I have stayed in hotels, slept in a car, relied on temporary places, and carried the emotional weight of trying to survive while still believing there had to be more for my life.

Housing instability affects far more than where a person sleeps. It can affect confidence, mental and emotional well-being, relationships, employment, faith, and the ability to imagine a stable future. When so much energy is devoted to making it through the day, it can become difficult to believe that restoration is possible.

But God met me there.

He began showing me that home is more than an address. A person can have a roof and still feel lost mentally, emotionally, or spiritually. In the same way, someone may be without permanent housing and still carry tremendous purpose, potential, and dignity.

My circumstances did not erase who I was. They did not cancel God’s calling on my life. Eventually, the experiences that once made me feel ashamed and disqualified became the very experiences God used to help me recognize the needs of others.

The Journey: Where the Podcast Began

The Get Them Home podcast grew from this revelation and from my desire to create honest, faith-centered conversations about struggle, restoration, and hope.

The podcast became a place to share testimonies, biblical encouragement, and conversations that acknowledged the whole person. It was not only about returning someone to a physical residence. It was about helping people find their way back to faith, purpose, identity, stability, and the belief that their story was not over.

What began behind a microphone, however, did not remain there.

The Service: When the Mission Entered the Community

Through Good Trouble Hustle, I became increasingly involved in philanthropic work and community outreach. We responded to practical needs, connected people with resources, and served wherever we could.

This work was meaningful, but it also created confusion. Good Trouble Hustle is a for-profit, faith-based creative business, not a nonprofit organization. Yet its community service became so visible that, in July 2024, Good Trouble Hustle was nominated for the Daytona Regional Chamber of Commerce’s 2024 Nonprofit of the Year Award.

Although the classification was not technically accurate, the nomination revealed something important: the outreach had grown into a mission with an identity and purpose of its own.

What could have been viewed only as a misunderstanding became confirmation. The work needed a dedicated structure through which it could grow, form partnerships, receive support responsibly, and serve people more effectively.

The Mission: Get Them Home Becomes a Nonprofit

On October 1, 2024, Get Them Home Inc. was formally incorporated as a Florida nonprofit organization.

The podcast was born from my journey. The community outreach demonstrated the need. The nonprofit became the structure that allowed the vision to develop into a broader mission.

Today, Get Them Home exists to help people move toward stability mentally, physically, and spiritually. We believe meaningful assistance must recognize the whole person—not reduce someone to a housing status, financial hardship, diagnosis, mistake, or difficult season.

Our vision includes compassionate outreach, practical assistance, faith-centered encouragement, responsible referrals, community partnerships, and personal-development opportunities. Whether someone needs help with temporary lodging, transportation, food, essential items, resource navigation, emotional encouragement, or spiritual support, we want every interaction to communicate the same truth: you are seen, your life has value, and your present circumstances do not have to be your final destination.

Why This Work Is Personal

I did not create Get Them Home because I always had the answers. I created it because I know what it feels like to need someone to look beyond the circumstances and recognize the person, potential, and purpose still inside.

There were seasons when I needed more than temporary relief. I needed hope. I needed accountability without condemnation, compassion without judgment, and practical help that did not strip away my dignity. Most of all, I needed to understand that God had not abandoned me.

That understanding continues to shape how I want Get Them Home to serve.

We cannot promise to solve every problem, and no single organization can meet every need. But we can listen. We can treat people with dignity. We can build trustworthy partnerships. We can connect people to resources. We can meet practical needs when possible. We can remind people that they are more than the hardest chapter of their lives.

My past did not disqualify me from serving. God used it to show me whom I was called to serve.

The Story Is Still Being Written

Get Them Home is more than the name of an organization. It is a commitment to help people find their way back… to stability, dignity, hope, faith, purpose, and, ultimately, home.

This mission belongs to every volunteer, donor, church, business, service provider, and community member who believes people deserve to be seen as human beings before they are seen as problems to solve.

There is still much to build, learn, and accomplish. But I have seen how God can transform pain into purpose and a personal journey into a pathway for serving others.

If this mission speaks to you, I invite you to become part of the story. Follow our work, share our message, volunteer, partner with us, or support an immediate need. Together, we can help more people take their next step toward home.

Helping people find their way home mentally, physically, and spiritually.
