History

I Am Them was birthed out of a failed adoption.  

Close friendships were formed through the emotional process of that international adoption, and an extended family was born.  

What started with a little girl became about her family, village, region, country, other countries, and humanity.  

We discovered that we all have things we don't want inside us.  

We all have things inside of us that make us come alive.  

We discovered that suffering allows for the gift of acceptance of the humanity of one another.  

We discovered we are each other.

Friends and family from the United States watched the adoption unfold and felt compelled to give to a village in Uganda that lacked clean water.  

People saw how far their dollars went as they helped through our friends and local grassroots organizations.

It grew from there.  

People being moved to help others, lend a hand, and share what they have (time, talent, money) has been the organization's heart. 

We wanted to create a community that makes it easy for people to do good.  

To reach out and help when they feel compelled.  

Connecting with people on the other side of the planet is doable. 

Together forever.  

I Am Them;

we are each other.
