Rooted in the belief that every person is made with a special purpose, intention, and love from God, Be-Leave encourages individuals to shed the labels and expectations put upon them by the world and embrace the uniqueness God has given them, thereby becoming who God created them to be.

Community Involvement — Charitable

Throughout the past forty-five years Mr. Villaume has been contributing directly to those in need and to many charitable organizations. All help is wonderful, but sometimes it's done to receive notoriety which defeats the purpose of the gift.

One only needs to remember a time in their life when an unexpected gift or assistance appeared at the moment when it was needed. That is the meaning behind a gift or assistance.

All charitable contributions are given anonymously — because the gift matters more than the recognition.
