Black Eye Peas Will.I.Am

Black Eye Peas Will.I.Am recently founded the I.Am.Home Fund to assist families facing foreclosure.

“Growing up I dreamt that one day I’d be able to buy my mom a house and take care of my family. I realized that dream and experienced the positive effect giving back had on my family. Now I am compelled to help others who are in jeopardy of losing their homes and inspire others to join the movement. The collapse of the housing market and the economic crisis has left millions in jeopardy of losing their homes. The crisis awakened a personal mission to create the i.am home fund to save people facing the very real problem of foreclosure and homelessness.“

He surprised two lucky families who were struggling to keep their homes on Oprah and agreed to pay the remaining $350,000 mortgage. With his new fund, he wishes to ensure that more Americans has assistance during these tough economic times.

“If you bring people together who have big hearts and [are] caring, they can make a difference and help America’s problem out.“
