Mission
AMERICANS HELPING AMERICANS ("AHA") PROVIDES BASIC NECESSITIES LIKE FOOD CLOTHING, SHELTER, AND SUPPORT SERVICES. AHA IS DEDICATED TO HELPING POVERTY-STRICKEN FAMILIES, CHILDREN, AND ELDERLY/DISABLED ADULTS TO MEET THEIR EMERGENCY NEEDS AND STRENGTHEN COMMUNITY RELATIONSHIP.
Program accomplishments
- BASIC NEEDS:HOLIDAY FOOD: FAMILIES IN EXTREME POVERTY WILL OFTEN FORGO PLANNED SAVING JUST TO HAVE A TRADITIONAL THANKSGIVING OR HOLIDAY DINNER. PARENTS, WHO WANT THE BEST FOR THEIR CHILDREN, WILL SPEND MORE THAN THEY CAN AFFORD TO GIVE THEIR FAMILY SOME SEMBLANCE OF NORMALCY. IT'S A PHENOMENON AHA AND OUR FIELD PARTNERS SEE EVERY HOLIDAY SEASON WHICH IS WHY MORE EVICTIONS HAPPEN AROUND THOSE TIMES AS FAMILIES NO LONGER HAVE ANY SAVINGS TO PAY BILLS. AHA AWARDED $27,700 FOR HOLIDAY FOOD, ALLOWING 3,358 INDIVIDUALS TO HAVE A HOLIDAY MEAL. THANKSGIVING AND OTHER HOLIDAY GATHERINGS ARE HOSTED BY FIELD PARTNERS WITH VOLUNTEERS TO ASSIST IN INVITING AND SERVING THE WHOLE COMMUNITY.(SEE SCHEDULE O FOR CONTINUATION)APPROXIMATELY $7,400 IN CASH GRANTS WERE AWARDED TO FIELD PARTNERS TO PROVIDE BASIC SUPPORT TO 3,247 INDIVIDUALS WHICH INCLUDED HYGIENE AND SANITATION ITEMS, FEMININE AND BABY CARE, AND PURCHASING ANY TYPE OF HEALTH ITEM NEEDED THAT OFTEN GETS OVERLOOKED WHEN LIVING IN EXTREME POVERTY.SUMMER CAMPS AND FEEDING PROGRAM: IN FISCAL YEAR 2025, AHA CONTINUED TO ASSIST THE CHILDREN EVEN AFTER THEY EXITED THE SCHOOL SYSTEM FOR THE SUMMER BY SPONSORING SUMMER FEEDING PROGRAMS AND SUMMER CAMPS. AT AHA SPONSORED SUMMER CAMPS, CHILDREN WERE ABLE TO CONTINUE EDUCATION, PREVENT SUMMER BRAIN DRAIN, MAKE NEW FRIENDS, AND LEARN NEW VALUABLE LIFE SKILLS. PARENTS WERE ABLE TO CONTINUE WORKING TO PROVIDE FOR THE FAMILY WHILE THEIR CHILD WAS TAKEN CARE OF. AHA MAKES SUMMER CAMP, WHICH USUALLY WOULD BE EXPENSIVE, ACCESSIBLE THROUGH $22,000 TOTAL GRANTS TO PARTNERS ALLOWING 273 CAMPERS TO ATTEND.UTILITIES: ONE IN SIX APPALACHIAN RESIDENTS LIVE BELOW THE POVERTY LINE. PEOPLE IN 56 OUT OF 420 COUNTIES WITHIN APPALACHIA HAVE A MEDIAN INCOME OF $36,000. THIS HAUNTING FACT MAKES PAYING MORTGAGE, RENT, AND UTILITIES A DAUNTING TASK FOR THESE AMERICANS. EVEN IF TENANTS PAY RENT, LANDLORDS WILL EVICT TENANTS WHO HAVE THEIR UTILITIES CUT OFF FEARING THAT PIPES ON THEIR PROPERTIES COULD FREEZE AND BURST IN UNHEATED APARTMENTS. LANDLORDS ALSO FEAR THAT IF A TENANT CAN'T PAY THEIR ELECTRIC BILL THAT MONTH, THEY MAY NOT BE ABLE TO PAY THEIR RENT THE NEXT. PARENTS COULD TEMPORARILY LOSE CUSTODY OF THEIR CHILDREN AS STATE HUMAN SERVICES AGENCIES WILL NOT ALLOW CHILDREN TO REMAIN IN A HOME WITHOUT UTILITIES. ELECTRICITY IS REQUIRED FOR OXYGEN CONCENTRATORS, DIALYSIS MACHINES, FEEDING EQUIPMENT AND TREATMENT OF MANY OTHER CHRONIC ILLNESSES. WITHOUT UTILITIES, POOR FAMILIES WILL SINK DEEPER INTO POVERTY. AMERICANS HELPING AMERICANS SUPPLIED $8,600 IN GRANT FUNDING TO HELP 3,563 RESIDENTS WITHIN APPALACHIA STAY AHEAD OF THEIR BILLS. AHA DONATED 3,000 DENTAL KITS TO HELP CHILDREN CONTINUE PROPER ORAL CARE EQUIPPED WITH TOOTHBRUSHES, TOOTHPASTE, FLOSS, A TIMER, AND TWO-WEEK BRUSHING CALENDAR. 2,520 KIDS COATS, 2,492 ADULTS COATS, AND 5,700 BLANKETS WERE DISTRIBUTED SO THAT RESIDENTS WILL STAY WARM. 306 SHOES WERE GIVEN TO CHILDREN, MANY OF WHOM RECEIVED THEIR 1ST EVER NEW SHOE. FINALLY, 18,648 FOOD BOXES WERE DELIVERED LAST YEAR WITH EACH BOX WEIGHING 20BS AND ENSURING A FAMILY OF FOUR FOOD FOR A WEEK.Expenses $2,023,873 · grants $1,767,010
- EDUCATION PROGRAM:VOCATIONAL TRAINING SUPPORT: ALLOWING STUDENTS TO TRAIN FOR SPECIFIC SKILLS IS AN IMPORTANT WAY TO HELP AN INDIVIDUAL ESCAPE POVERTY. AHA SPONSORS TUTORS AT THE WEST VIRGINIA CAREER AND TECHNOLOGY CENTER IN MCDOWELL COUNTY, THE ONLY VOCATIONAL SCHOOL IN THE COUNTY, TO TEACH STUDENTS LAW, VIDEO GAME DESIGN, AND MECHANICAL ENGINEERING TO NAME A FEW STUDIES. STUDENTS ARE HELPED WITH THEIR COURSEWORK BY TUTORS TO PASS THEIR MAIN HIGH SCHOOL COURSES AND MENTORED THROUGHOUT THE VOCATIONAL SCHOOL TRAINING, ENSURING THEY PASS THEIR TESTS. THIS PROGRAM WOULD NOT EXIST WITHOUT $14,500 OF AHA FUNDING ASSISTING 209 INDIVIDUALS.(SEE SCHEDULE O FOR CONTINUATION)ADDITIONALLY, THE WANT2WORK INITIATIVE GAVE FUNDING TO THREE VOCATIONAL SCHOOLS IN KENTUCKY AND VIRGINIA SO THAT THEY MAY PURCHASE PROFESSIONAL EQUIPMENT AND TOOLS AS WELL AS PAY FOR TESTS AND ACCREDITATION FOR THE STUDENTS, RELIEVING FINANCIAL BURDENS ON THE YOUNG PROFESSIONALS. $70,000 WERE DISTRIBUTED BETWEEN THE FIVE SCHOOLS, LEE COUNTY (VA) CAREER & TECHNICAL CENTER, LEE COUNTY (KY) AREA TECHNICAL CENTER, AND ESTILL COUNTY AREA TECHNICAL CENTER, WHITE COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL CTAE, AND TAZEWELL COUNTY CAREER & TECHNICAL CENTER HELPING OVER 765 STUDENTS.Expenses $920,660 · grants $803,812
- HOUSING/SHELTER:WORKING WITH LOCAL AND NATIONAL VOLUNTEERS, AHA SPONSORED 141 HOME RENOVATION/REPAIR PROJECTS FOR LOW-INCOME FAMILIES, ELDERLY, AND DISABLED INDIVIDUALS. AHA STAFF AND PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS HAVE WITNESSED FIRSTHAND HOMES WITHOUT ROOFS, MISSING WALLS, AND HUGE HOLES IN THE WALLS AND FLOORS OF HOMES WITHIN CENTRAL APPALACHIA. THIS FRIGHTENING FACT IS WHY AHA SPONSORS TRAINED VOLUNTEER GROUPS EVERY YEAR TO ASSIST WITH HOME REPAIRS. THE WORK CAN BE EXTENSIVE AND INCLUDES DIGGING DRAINS, REPLACING FOUNDATIONS, CONSTRUCTING WHEELCHAIR RAMPS, REPAIRING ROOFS AND WALLS, REPLACING JOUSTS UNDERNEATH KITCHENS AND BATHROOMS, AND RENOVATING BATHROOMS TO KEEP SANITATION HIGH.(SEE SCHEDULE O FOR CONTINUATION)AHA SEES THIS AS A NEED AND FOR THAT, AWARDED $65,000 TOTAL GRANTS TO PARTNERS IN WEST VIRGINIA, TENNESSEE, GEORGIA, AND KENTUCKY.Expenses $107,381 · grants $93,753 · revenue $19,815
