As a native of Fort Wayne, I have dedicated much of my life to supporting worthy causes in our region and currently serve as a board member and event and fundraising coordinator for Special Olympics Allen County.

I joined Mike Thomas & Associates with the enthusiasm of helping my clients buy and/or sell their homes with knowledgeable and attentive service. It has been a dream of mine to launch this program for some time, however, I never thought I would be a financial contributor to the program.

With only so many hours in a day, it was becoming more difficult to find time to Lend a Hand in all the ways that I was used to. Once I decided to combine my career with my project in waiting, it finally became the perfect time to put my dream into motion. I am thrilled to see all the ideas that I have had written on sticky notes and in journals finally take form and become JFLendingahand.com.

My daughter, Hannah, and I have been honored to work with many different, dedicated individuals and organizations who have enhanced and changed lives, including ours. We appreciate the amount of work and time that is required to make a difference in a big way for so many people and for so many different reasons.

This program has been designed to Lend a Hand to some of these individuals and organizations. We have partnered with 10 charities who do so much for those in our area. There are many more that require our community’s help. JFLendingahand.com can only grow if you want it to. By supporting our participating businesses, you are making the choice to give back.  Help us help others. Working together we can do MORE, we can give MORE, we can accomplish MORE!

Always remembering to give back,
