Antony Jackson has been homeless before. Now he helps others in that same situation through his nonprofit We Can Now.
In Antony's early adult life he was living inside his car while he was finishing his college degree.
"Maybe two years out of that, I would have been outside if it wasn't for mama Sonya, opening her house to me and allowing me to sleep in the living room. All of her rooms were full because she had her own kids," says Jackson. She let him stay with her for about a year. "I opened my doors because my mother was like that. They are with their kids that I have now. It's because of my mom," says Sonya Johnson.Now Antony runs a nonprofit called We Can Now to help those who experienced homelessness and lends a helping hand. We Can Now services the communities in many ways, from servicing the homeless population with the essentials of life such as water, food, fruits, hygiene, and more.
We Can Now has a department that will be assisting felons with finding opportunities for work in the community which will help them receive a fair shot, as well as a second chance in life as we all so deserve. "And when I was going through my experiences, we didn't have any resources outside of the Salvation Army," says Jackson.
