You're Worth It Foundation Inc's Story
You’re Worth It Foundation Inc. was founded on the belief that financial stability should be accessible to every family—regardless of where they are starting.
Founded by Sharon D. Parry, a Registered Nurse, Housing Strategist, financial educator, and community advocate, the Foundation provides practical financial education, homeownership readiness, and connections to trusted community resources.
Our work is rooted in faith and strengthened by real-world experience. We understand that financial hardship is rarely caused by one issue alone. Families may face challenges with savings, credit, housing, income, access to resources, or simply not knowing where to begin.
That is why You’re Worth It Foundation Inc. works to help individuals and families build stronger financial foundations, prepare for sustainable homeownership, protect what they are building, and move toward greater economic stability.
We meet people where they are—and help them build a pathway forward.
