About Us

About:

Stephanie and Johnny, the founders of Yahweh's Hands and Feet Inc., have a deep-rooted passion for helping others that was born out of their own trials and tribulations. They understand firsthand what it feels like to be in a place where a helping hand can make all the difference, and they are dedicated to providing that support to at-risk youth within our community.

Johnny's journey has been marked by adversity since a young age, having lost his mother at the tender age of 16. Despite navigating through life's difficulties and the challenges of growing up in Brooklyn, Johnny managed to persevere. He not only graduated from college with a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice but also currently services his community as a Substance Abuse Counselor and provides transportation services as the CEO of his own transportation company “Made -A- Way Transportations. LLC” 

Inspired by his own experiences and the real-life events that young boys face, Johnny leads a program called "From Gangs to Grace," providing a safe place for young men who sought comfort and acceptance in all the wrong places and landed them in trouble waters. He creates an environment for young and older men to vent and release as a pathway to overcoming difficult situations. His dedication lies in helping others rise above their circumstances, just as he did,

Stephanie's own struggles began at the age of 13 as she faced foster homes and group homes throughout her teenage years. Despite the hardships she endured, a passion for helping others was birthed within her. Through healing, grace, and divine love, Stephanie was able to overcome her own challenges. She found herself helping others and making a difference as a Medical Assistant and Health Educator for over 10 years. Recognizing the importance through her own experiences, of having the support you need during trying times in life, she gained a better understanding of the difference it can make in our fight by simply having a reliable and healthy support system.
