The late Tim Russert has two famous quotes that Michelle Nelson aims to live by. “Never forget where you came from” & “The best gift from the heart is to bend down and pick someone else up.”

Michelle Nelson is a single mother who has struggled in the past. Today, she is very blessed to have Back 2 Basics Marketing, LLC and that she why she has created the Harley Graves Emergency Fund.

Every referral for new business, Michelle contributes 10% to the Harley Graves Emergency Fund. This fund is used to help those in need. They will submit an application as to why they need the funds and it will help to give them utility assistance, pay for a water bill or help toward groceries.

Michelle’s Great Grandfather was Harley Graves. He did not graduate from high school and was an entrepreneur. Michelle grew up with him and learned so many life lessons about helping people, not judging anyone and that if someone needs a hand, don’t judge, just help them.

This fund is in honor of Michelle’s Great Grandfather who always gave her the uplifting she needed and she could do anything she wanted. When her Great Grandfather passed way, her Great Grandmother found checks in their basement office that had never been cashed.
