That's as astounding number especially knowing due to COVID-19 students that depend on breakfast and lunch at school now possibly won't be having a healthy meal on a daily basis.

While playing football in college I started my volunteer work with the Special Olympics. From that experience I obtained gratitude which made me feel like no other from giving back to the community I made a vow to myself to always give back to my community. As a teacher and coach with over 18 years of experience combined in the Public School Systems and coaching I have encountered various demographics. The demographic I felt the closest to is the low-medium poverty area schools. In these schools the basic needs of every day seem like a luxury to some. Along with teaching I have given my time as a volunteer football coach with Pop Warner football. This experience of giving these young boys a mentor/coach/father-figure has truly affected their development to becoming the best person they could be. There have been numerous other events I have donated to and given my time but I felt compelled to start a non-profit in order to create a legacy for my children to continue on the philanthropy our family has instilled in us.
I went to school for Forensic Science because I was intrigued by the many facets of what you were able to learn. One of my main reasons for choosing this field was so I could help others. I wanted to be the advocate for families of loved ones that passed and a voice to those who can no longer speak for themselves.
Being part of a Non-Profit Organization is so rewarding! I don’t do this because I have too, I do this because it gives me a sense of purpose! When giving back to the community, it gives me the ultimate sense of purpose knowing that I am doing something meaningful. Being able to put a smile on a face or lift a burden is an indescribable feeling.
In addition, when giving back to the community, you discover some of your greatest skills. It shows you what you can contribute and are good at while also showing you things you can improve on, helping you unlock potential you never knew you had. For me, this helps me be the best version of who I am!
People tend to forget about the community and coexisting. We get caught up with our personal situations and we tend to overlook everything else. It’s not all about you nor is a community only people living together. It is much deeper and more meaningful. Coming together to fight, protect, bring peace, understanding, motivating, teaching and to unite lives for the good is community! And I want to be known for this rewarding and life-changing experience.
Dr. Emeka Obi Anyiam is the Founder/CEO of Embridge Counseling Services, LLC. A man of humble beginnings, he was born in the small town of Nkwerre, located all the way on the other side of the world in Imo State, Nigeria.
After high school, he felt called into Christian ministry and would eventually settle into leading his own church. Although professionally fulfilled, lack of opportunity and significant family pressure made the decision to leave the only home he had ever known for a better life in America impossible to ignore.
After landing in New Jersey in 1991, despite speaking very little English, he was soon able to complete the difficult process of becoming an American Citizen and finally realize his long-held dream of getting a formal education, earning a Bachelor’s Degree in Sociology from Montclair State University. He knew he didn’t want to stop there because he understood that real success would be impossible without a solid education.
He went on to earn a Master’s Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Liberty University and finally he completed a Doctorate Degree from Colorado Theological Seminary. By this time, in order to be close to family, he made the move from New Jersey to Florida. Still feeling called in the direction of the church, he completed the process of becoming an ordained minister all while continuing to flex his therapy muscles finishing an internship at Our Children First with a future licensure in mind. Still with his heart set on leading his own church someday, a major life event changed Dr. Anyiam’s direction back toward the pursuit of a career in therapy. With that, he dedicated himself to completing all the rigorous demands of becoming licensed in his field and went to work for a small company, called Neighbor to Family.
Not long after, he was offered the position of Clinical Director at Circle of Friends Services, Inc. After a few years of honoring his managerial skills, he seized the opportunity to branch out on his own and establish Embridge Counseling Services, LLC. His hope is that one day he will be able to use the drive and determination he has fallen back on so many times before to help his community and show people that they too have the inner power to help themselves if they are willing to work for it.
I am a single mother of five productive and compassionate adults. I am very passionate about helping and seeking help for people in need. I have worked in positions that always involved helping children or adults. I was an Assistant Teacher and a Certified Nursing Assistant. I've volunteered at schools, day care, nursing homes and rest homes. I enjoy giving back to my community in any capacity I can.
Giving back is personal for me because I have been in situations where I needed help and that resonates a lot for me. I am passionate about using any resource that Wish 2 One can provide to help our community or surrounding communities.
