Creating a Better Everyday Living Environment for Families
To inspire hope and provide an effective step toward a brighter future.
A Chain of Events was founded in 2018 when Crystal J. West, President, became aware of a single mother with three children in need of assistance. The family had been homeless for several months until a local nonprofit was able to find the family of four permanent housing. Deeply affected by the family’s situation, Crystal, worked tirelessly for a month utilizing her resources within the community to provide the family with home furnishings and basic household necessities. Inspired by the success, Crystal developed a passion to provide other families with a stepping stone toward a brighter future.
