The Helen Helps Foundation’s purpose has four main components.

Continuous improvement in annual airbag checks; airbag education

When the airbag deploys it reduces injuries and saves lives. Conversely, when it does not deploy, serious injury and death can occur. Having your airbag checked annually not only instills your confidence in its deployment, but it will reduce your chances of injury should an accident happen. A major issue is that many airbag warranties do not last more than a year or two, so you are obligated to have yours checked after the warranty is exhausted. Further, the airbag can falter under warranty, so to have an annual airbag check is critical.

Educational scholarships and grants

Education improves society in every aspect. To continue to educate the universe of people of the world is of paramount importance to the Helen Helps Foundation. We provide collegiate scholarships primarily, but we also give scholarships to primary school students in indigent areas. Our belief is that as we educate the population, the demographic statistics will improve as people learn more about technology, conflict resolution, decision making and resource allocation. Further, graduating students normally contribute to society in a positive way from maintaining employment to stellar citizenship, which we want to promote.

Eradicating famine domestically and globally

The number one cause of death in the world is famine. As a result, the Helen Helps Foundation has chosen eradicating famine as its global initiative. We operate through proven entities and select our own set of individuals to help feed. We give food to shelters, provide capital to international famine eradication organizations and we eventually want to launch a global headquarters closer to the areas that suffer the most from famine. The number one goal being that there should be no human being that wants or needs food.

Healthcare Advocacy

Many families and individuals are faced with hospitalization and medical issues but may not know all of the ancillary detail related to medical decisions and payment options. Our Healthcare Advocacy team not only helps you make decisions about your care, but we advocate to healthcare professionals and hospitals on your behalf to help you feel confident about the care that you are receiving. Healthcare advocacy reduces errors in care and helps the family focus on other areas of patient needs. It provides a comfort to confirm your choices or just have another ear to provide input while giving the healthcare professionals an option as well.  Our goal is to help reduce medical mistakes while improving the overall hospitalization experience.
