About our Founder

Hello, I'm Jeff Edrington

Hello, I’m Jeff Edrington—a journeyer navigating life’s complexities in pursuit of a higher calling. I call Cleveland, Georgia, home. My upbringing, as the son of a former Presbyterian minister, instilled in me the values of humility and compassion for the needy. As an entrepreneur, I’ve experienced both the trials and triumphs of carving my own path.

I’m blessed with a daughter and cherish every moment with my grandson. My true passion lies in serving those in need. This calling was ignited during a transformative mission trip to Washington DC in my youth. Witnessing firsthand the struggles of those in need profoundly reshaped my perspective on humanity.

My beliefs are simple yet profound: I believe in loving everyone unconditionally, and recognizing that each individual is striving for their best. My identity is shaped not by political affiliations, but by my actions and unwavering faith in Christ. Prayer, a powerful tool accessible to all, fuels my journey of service. I advocate for harm reduction and support initiatives that prevent self-harm and promote well-being.

My life hasn’t been without its challenges. Loneliness, trauma, and not having a voice growing up, have been some of my companions. Yet, these struggles have forged connections with others who share similar experiences, reinforcing the importance of empathy and understanding.

WillUhelp was born from a deep desire to transcend the confines of the corporate world I have called home for decades and make a tangible difference in the lives of others. As a person seeking daily joy and purpose, I’ve embarked on a mission to empower the voiceless, drawing on lessons learned from my corporate background. Together, through radical and relentless action, we can amplify the voices of the homeless and lonely and effect meaningful change. I invite you to join me on this journey of compassion and empowerment.

Beyond my mission, I find solace and joy in various hobbies, from drumming to indulging in Christian apologetics. Music, particularly bands like Rage Against the Machine, Jeremy Camp, and U2.

I look forward to uniting with you and those in need to make a difference together. I encourage you to email me and introduce yourself!
