Hello, Welcome to the From Poverty to Purpose Organization, where we empower people to succeed! 

About Me
My name is Dr. Linda Jackson, DNP, RN, APRN, FNP-BC—but many know me as The Chicken Catcher’s Daughter. My journey has been anything but easy. I was once an eighth-grade dropout, a young mother raising a large family on $10 an hour, working multiple jobs just to keep food on the table. I know firsthand what it means to stretch every dollar, to make hard choices between bills and groceries, and to feel trapped in the cycle of survival.
But I also know what it means to rise. Through faith, resilience, and relentless determination, I returned to school, earned my GED, pursued higher education, and eventually achieved my Doctor of Nursing Practice. Today, I am a nurse practitioner, author, speaker, entrepreneur, and advocate for change. My journey from poverty to purpose is living proof that where you start does not define where you can go.
About the Organization
The Poverty to Purpose Organization was born out of both my struggles and my victories. I created this organization to be the very resource I once wished existed when I was fighting to survive. Our mission is simple yet powerful:
Mission
To empower individuals and families to break the cycle of poverty by providing education, resources, mentorship, and practical strategies that lead to long-term stability and purpose.
Vision
We envision a world where no one is defined by poverty, but empowered by possibility. Where resilience replaces shame, opportunity replaces barriers, and every individual has the tools and support to transform their lives.
What We Aim to Do
At Poverty to Purpose, we focus on:

• Education & Training: Offering workshops, courses, and resources on financial literacy, healthcare access, entrepreneurship, and personal development.

• Mentorship & Support: Connecting people with mentors and networks that help them see and pursue new possibilities.

• Advocacy & Awareness: Shedding light on the hidden crises of poverty and healthcare disparities, and amplifying voices that are too often unheard.

• Practical Resources: Sharing real-life hacks, survival strategies, and community resource guides to meet immediate needs while building a pathway to long-term success.

Why It Matters
Poverty is not just about money—it is about time, energy, access, confidence, and opportunity. I know because I’ve lived it. But I also know the power of transformation. Poverty may shape your story, but it does not have to write your ending.
Through this organization, I am committed to walking alongside others as they write their new chapters—chapters filled with hope, resilience, and purpose.
How You Can Help
Transforming lives from poverty to purpose is not something we can do alone—it takes a community of hearts, hands, and resources working together. Whether you’re an individual looking to give back, a business wanting to make an impact, or an organization seeking collaboration, your partnership makes a difference.
