About the Founder

I am Patrice Harris, an advocate for Single Parents. What brings me deep joy is seeing single parents transform their narrative from brokenness to healing, from ‘I can’t’ to ‘I can’, and ‘I will’ to ‘I did!’ I am passionate about seeing people at their best and understanding who they are in God. My hope is that all single parents will crush any generational curses within their lives and families; so, they can walk in the newness of Jesus, birthing a new foundation for future generations to build on.

​

My mission is to reach these families by uplifting and helping them to identify the dysfunctional patterns and behaviors in their lives that are not serving them well and teach them through G.R.A.C.E. (Grounding, Responsibility, Accountability, Community & Edification). I am committed to walking alongside parents and see their lives renewed by the saving grace of Christ Jesus. Anything is possible to those who believe.

​

My path to become a living example became clear when I found myself sick and tired of being sick and tired of dealing with the same issues in my life. Albert Einstein said, “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again but expecting different results.” I had to change some of my behaviors if I wanted a different outcome, but that couldn’t be done until I understood the root causes of those behaviors. 

​

So, I began my journey by saying to God “I need your help” “I surrender all to you, please show me the way”. Jesus began to do what only He could do in my life and that was to show me who I really am. He showed me those hurts and pains that I somehow masterly ignore and hid from myself and others. He guided the healing in my life and set me free. During the process, God revealed to me how I would help others become free through Him; guiding them down a path of healing, forever, being transformed through His process. 

​

What sets me and my team apart from others is that we will become shepherds in your lives. Sure, we can give you resources just like any other social service organization and send you on your way, but a shepherd ensures the safety and welfare of the flock. We will not just send you away but will walk with you, help remove burdens, teach you what we know worked well in our life, show you healing by being a living example, and most importantly help you to see yourself as God sees you. You will be part of the G.O.O.D.E. family even when you are well on your way to fulfilling your destiny.

​

You can be assured when you work with us that you will experience love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness and self-control for the purpose of YOUR healing when you become a part of the G.O.O.D.E. Foundation.

This is what others have had to say about their time with me and our organization…

“This is a great organization that has helped me get resources, be with other moms, and be real. There’s no judgement and God is the forefront of it all. It is an amazing organization” – Allyson Mcgavick-Noel

​

“As a single mother of two children who makes a decent income but once all the bills are paid doesn’t have much left over. I have noticed even though I could use some assistance not just financially but emotionally there is no support out there for mothers in my situation. I was overjoyed to hear about The G.O.O.D.E. Foundation who is trying to be the gap filler for mothers just like me.” – LaToya Murrell

 

"My first G.O.O.D.E. talk session was a breath of fresh air (and it wasn't because I was walking in the park while having it)!  It really just exceeded my expectation in the way that we were all encouraged to share openly and freely and yet the entire discussion was uplifting and really allowed us to feel strengthened in God's goodness in providing these others along such a path that sometimes becomes obscured by the trees (and not being able to see the forest).  And that is what my experience with a G.O.O.D.E. talk did for me.  It opened my view and cleared the pathway by the open, honest and spiritually led discussion with others walking and talking with me." – Felicia Strange

 

Similar outcomes await those who work with me and others in The G.O.O.D.E. Foundation. So, if you’re looking for someone who can encourage and equip you to identify limiting patterns and behaviors while replacing self-defeating values, keeping you stuck, you have come to the right place. We are ready to guide you through this life changing process of birthing a new foundation in you through Jesus Christ. We can’t wait to meet you and walk with you on a journey that will change your life forever.
