Our Story
A Friendship Forged in Purpose
The Just Help Out Foundation was born from a friendship that spans more than a decade and a shared dedication to a cause that is deeply personal. For founders Nichole and Tabatha, two moms who have navigated the challenges of life together, this foundation is a mission of the heart.
Nichole's journey began with a personal tragedy: the loss of her brother to suicide. In the wake of this profound pain, she was determined to create a space of hope and understanding for others. But she didn't have to do it alone. Her longtime friend, Tabatha, a partner in life and motherhood, immediately joined the cause. They both understood the critical importance of breaking the silence and stigma surrounding mental health.
As a team, Nichole and Tabatha combine their deep friendship with a passionate commitment to a shared vision. They are two powerhouses working in unison, channeling their shared experiences and unwavering belief into building a community where everyone feels seen, supported, and empowered to ask for help. They know firsthand the difference that just one helping hand can make, and together, they are extending that hand to the entire community.
Meet Tabatha, VP
Tabatha's greatest pride is her role as a loving mom to four children, a family built through both marriage and the beautiful journey of adoption. This firsthand experience has given her a deep well of empathy and a powerful understanding of what it means to create a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment. As a co-founder, she brings the same fierce protectiveness and nurturing spirit to the foundation as she does to her family.
Beyond her role as a mom and her work with the foundation, Tabatha is a driven entrepreneur, successfully running her own roofing company. Her professional life is a testament to her tenacity, leadership, and hands-on work ethic—qualities that are invaluable to the Just Help Out Foundation. In her spare time, she finds an outlet for her spirited energy in the world of racing. She is a passionate fan and a vital supporter of her husband's race shop. This passion for speed, precision, and a strong crew reflects her unwavering determination to build a powerful and supportive community for the foundation.
Meet Nichole, Founder
As a single mom to two boys, Nichole understands the profound complexities of navigating life's challenges. Her journey into mental health advocacy is a testament to her belief that purpose can be found in pain. Though she graduated from law school, Nichole quickly discovered her true calling was in helping people find their voice and heal. This passion led her to become a dedicated counselor and therapist.
Building on her expertise, she has since founded her own private practice, providing a safe and supportive space for her clients. She also works collaboratively with other facilities and organizations to broaden her reach and impact. Always seeking to grow her knowledge, she is currently pursuing her doctorate to further her understanding and influence in the field of mental health.
