    Get to know about our cause

    Our cause is bringing awareness and support to South Floridians who are affected by the rise of living costs crisis. The state's affordability crisis is attributed primarily to skyrocketing housing costs and soaring home insurance rates. Housing costs in the state are up to a whopping 16% since last year, versus a 7.8% increase in the rest of the country. Additionally, Floridians are sacrificing their nutrition to save money amid rising prices. Increasing food prices are affecting more than people's wallers- they're affecting people's health.
