“Helping others to grow, learn something new or achieve their goals is my passion.”

Bessie Miller Gaylord is a native of Jackson, MS and has been a Riverside, California resident for over forty two years. She has always had a passion to give back to her community and has make significant contributions to society. Growing up in Mississippi in a large family of eight children there were always bumps in the road. I grew up wanting to make the best of my life placing my education at the forefront. I was confident that I could by the grace of God. As a wife, mother of two, and grandmother of seven, I knew I always had it in me to reach out and lend a helping hand. I truly enjoyed feeding the homeless and helping anyone else in need. I began to envision, Black Lives Matter Help Us a non-profit organization designed to offer an array of free services to lift up those in need. Many people just need a little support to get their lives back on track and headed in the right direction. I am excited about the launch of this worthwhile organization and look forward to serving.

Black Lives Matter Help Us is my way of making positive change in the world.”
