“I’ve watched people I love struggle with addiction, disability, trauma, and homelessness. I learned that compassion and presence can change everything. This fund exists to honor my family and to lift up anyone who is fighting alone.”

The JB² Fund was born from personal experience, love, and loss. The name honors two people whose lives shaped this mission: James Beale, a Vietnam Veteran exposed to Agent Orange, who faced disability and ultimately died of cancer. As well as Jami Beale, his daughter who passed away from a car accident 11 years prior.

Their initials — JB²

The JB² Fund is dedicated to lifting up individuals who are struggling — whether through homelessness, addiction, mental health challenges, disability, or the hardships that come with aging. We provide direct aid, connection, and compassionate support designed to restore dignity and hope.

A world where no one faces their darkest moments alone — where human connection is a lifeline, compassion is active, and dignity is restored for every person.

Compassion comes first
Every person deserves dignity
Connection saves lives
Recovery and stability are possible
No one is beyond help
Community is stronger when we lift each other
