New2Need is a charity that became of the goal of a Miss A who lost her job, income and home. She was so traumatized by this that she vowed she would help others in her situation so they wouldn’t feel as helpless and alone.



One of the most frustrating things Miss A faced while she was homeless was trying to get the help she needed to escape from her first poverty cycle. Most of the agency workers she approached did not know who to respond to her questions. They did not have helpful recommendations for where she go for assistance, either. Miss A’s primary goal for New2Need is that someone will always be there for those who do not know where to turn.



In 2004 Miss A met Ann Mullen in Kingsville, Texas as Miss A was struggling to put her life back together. Seeing a fellow human being in need, Mullen offered Miss A assistance and shelter. Thus began the dream of New2Need.



In 2006 both Miss A and Mullen moved to Fort Worth. Much had changed since Miss A had lived there. While living in North Texas as a young woman, Miss A had enjoyed success in both business and charitably causes. But many of the influential people Miss A knew had moved on. Being in a new city without any contacts did nothing to deter the two women who now devote their time and efforts to helping others.
