WHY DO WE CARE?
The future hinges on the younger generation. What legacy will we leave behind? Whom do we hold up as role models? Children lack the ability to choose their circumstances, but together, we have the power to uplift struggling families, eradicate abuse, and assist neglected youth. Our actions are driven by compassion. Genuine love entails generosity and a willingness to make sacrifices.
In accordance to Whitehouse.gov, 95,000 children in Nevada are living in poverty with an additional 23% in the state of Nevada being subject to a single parent household.
Meet our founder, Moses.
OUR STORYAs a native of Las Vegas, Moses dedicated his time to serving the community. He partnered with organizations supporting homeless teens in Nevada, was employed with the department of child and family services as a family services technician and CPS intake specialist, became a mental health technician 1-PHP at a Behavioral Healthcare Hospital, volunteered at soup kitchens, and advocated for special needs students with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
It has been a lifelong dream and mission for Moses to help others by enabling individuals to overcome their obstacles and being a reliable support system by providing financial relief, spiritual counseling, and mentorship.
As a middle child of three, Moses watched his mother struggle to make ends-meet. She had to work two to three jobs just to support Moses and his sisters all the while being subject to a single parent household due to the consequences of his father’s drug addiction. But with God, all things were possible, Staying true to his faith, he watched God intercede and provide for himself and his family over and over again. This ignited a flame in him to therefore aid others in overcoming their hardships.
John 14:6 – Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me”

Raising Awareness
“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.” Matthew 7:7
See about it, talk about it. There are tons of people in our community that are struggling financially, emotionally and mentally and are battling things that we physically cannot see. It could be your neighbor, a co-worker, a friend, or a classmate. The Way Foundation breaks this barrier by visiting schools, public speaking, and being an active resource.
Many individuals are ashamed to talk about emotional situations such as these. But a closed mouth never gets fed, and we must eradicate the cliche of not asking for help.
“Asking for help is not a sign of weakness. It is proof of how strong you are.”
What will your donation do?
Each and every donation whether it be goods, services, or money will contribute towards the many resources that The Way Foundation offers to the youth of Nevada. The foundation’s resources include our “Way Bags” given to the those who are in need of supplemental and nutritional items, counseling and mentorship by our youth empowerment programs, and self-sufficiency grants given to qualified families in need. Alongside this, we strongly need a building to store and disperse these donations, to safely park our bus used for transport and advertising to schools/events, and be a safe and welcome headquarters for children to visit and be mentored.
Your donation will highly help us in these goals, and together, we can become a staple foundation for the future of Nevada.
