Our Story
iamALIVE (Accepted, Loved, Valued, Empowered), Inc. is a 501(c)(3) faith-based nonprofit organization that was established in 2023, driven by a deeply personal story that began many years ago. LaSaundra Kay Hewitt, the founder, experienced relentless bullying throughout her journey from elementary school to high school. Her struggle with suicidal thoughts, depression, and low self-esteem was a result of the lasting effects of such torment. After years of perseverance, LaSaundra found healing, wholeness, and self-worth, inspiring her to establish an organization that would provide support to youth facing similar challenges.
