The Heart behind the House: Real Estate Agents Making a Difference

In the heart of every community, there are folks going about their day to day lives while also looking outward to others in order to support those in need. We all know that real estate is about buying and selling homes, but for some it is also a vehicle for supporting children. Fit Family Homes has designed their business to serve both categories. Josh & Kelly Wheelock strive for success in the real estate realm but have a commitment to uplifting others as well. Their initiative, highlighted by their involvement with Sell a Home, Save a Child (SAHSAC), goes beyond transactions and sales—it's about real, tangible impact. With each home they sell, a portion of their earnings fuels the mission to transform the lives of children living in extreme poverty, embodying the true essence of giving back through one’s work.

The choice to support SAHSAC is more than a charitable contribution; it's an element of Josh & Kelly's belief in the power of community and compassion. This organization is dedicated to holistically battling poverty by meeting children’s fundamental needs for nutritious meals, clean drinking water, healthcare, and education in some of the world’s most deprived communities. The model is simple yet profoundly effective: real estate professionals like the Wheelocks donate a portion of their income from real estate transactions, infusing their day-to-day business activities with a higher purpose. This approach not only transforms lives globally but also reshapes the landscape of real estate into a force for good, proving that success and generosity can indeed go hand in hand. Sell a Home, Save a Child’s work is transformative, both for the beneficiaries of its programs and for those who contribute. By directing 100% of their donations to Forward Edge International, a highly accredited 501(c)(3) organization, SAHSAC ensures that every dollar makes a significant impact. This partnership has raised over $3.5 million since 2016, aiding children in desperate need across countries like Cuba, Haiti, Kenya, and more. Donations go towards providing children with access to essential services and education, empowering them towards a brighter, self-sustaining future. This strategic collaboration magnifies the Wheelocks' and their peers' ability to effect change, making each real estate transaction a step towards ending extreme child poverty. Moreover, the impact of Josh & Kelly Wheelock’s commitment is evident in the stories of transformation and hope emerging from communities touched by SAHSAC. Testimonies from real estate professionals involved reflect a deep sense of fulfillment and motivation, spurred by the knowledge that their work contributes to such a meaningful cause. These stories aren’t just about numbers; they’re lives changed for the better. Through their support of SAHSAC, the Wheelocks aren’t just selling homes; they’re building a legacy of generosity, community support, and transformed futures, illustrating the profound difference one business can make when it chooses to look beyond its bottom line.
