History
Will-U-Help is more than an organization—it’s a movement born from compassion, driven by purpose, and built to create lasting change for the unsheltered. What began in 2025 on the streets of Athens, Georgia, has grown into a global call to action: to see, hear, and empower those often overlooked.
After years of offering food, hugs, money, and conversation, we came to a powerful realization—while kindness matters, true transformation requires deeper connection and long-term solutions. So, we asked a bold question: How can we help people feel truly seen, valued, and supported in reclaiming their independence?
Today, WillUHelp stands as a beacon of hope, igniting change one story, one person, one community at a time.
The Power of the Message Bag
What started as a simple question—How can we help people be truly seen and heard?—sparked a movement of visibility, dignity, and empowerment. From that inspiration, the Will-U-Help Message Bag was born.
Our message bags are more than just reusable totes—they are tools for self-expression and connection. One side began with “Hire Me For,” offering individuals the chance to share their skills with a Sharpie (“Hire me for yard work,” “Hire me to paint,” etc.). The other side featured the bold question, “Will-U-Help?”, inviting the community to engage and respond.
Over time, our bag evolved into its fifth generation: a blank canvas. Now, each person has the freedom to write whatever message speaks to their journey, whether it’s a request, a dream, a skill, or a statement of hope.
These bags aren’t just carried—they carry stories, talents, and courage. They remind the world that everyone has something to say, something to offer, and someone willing to listen.
Every Step Matters
Out on the streets, we didn’t just serve—we listened, walked alongside, and learned. One of the first truths we discovered was simple, yet profound: backpacks were gold. More than a convenience, they were a lifeline—used to carry everything someone owned, their entire world on their shoulders. So we started there, handing out backpacks as one small but meaningful step toward stability.
But it didn’t stop with gear. We spent nights sleeping alongside the unhoused, learning directly from their experiences. That’s where we met a man whose story still fuels our mission. All he needed was $85—just enough for a bus ticket to reunite with his family, 600 miles away. One small act. One opportunity. And everything changed.
At Will-U-Help, we believe every human deserves that kind of chance—one moment of support that can shift the entire course of a life. That’s why we do what we do. Because every step, every story, every connection matters.
Reuniting the Unhoused with Their Loved Ones
We use technology and compassion to help unsheltered individuals reconnect with lost loved ones—reuniting families and restoring hope, one story at a time.
