Founded with a Purpose
Living 127, Inc. was founded in 2013 by lifelong friends Michael and Eric after a mission trip to Guatemala opened their eyes to the reality of children living on the streets and in garbage dumps. They discovered that many orphanages had room to care for more children but lacked the resources. By supplying essentials like hygiene items and school supplies, orphanages could redirect funds to take in more abandoned, abused, and orphaned children. That mission became the heart of Living 127. The name reflects James 1:27, which calls us to “care for orphans in their time of need.” Shortly after, Scott joined the team and helped launch the Scholarship Fund, supporting children as they age out of orphanages while continuing their education.
