History

Initially established as the signature program of Fight for Life Corp which was founded in 2013, its founder Jacqueline Gray recognized a critical need to address the issue of youth and young adults in need of help from abuse. The focus was to mentor, educate, provide private and group sessions, and provide resources on: mental illness FAQS, reducing and preventing bullying, cyberbullying, sexting, and other digital abuse, educating against homophobia, racism and hatred, and deterring violence in schools, online and in communities across the country. 

Jacqueline Gray dealt with bullying all through grade school and out. When growing up in the small town in Louisiana, many looked at her in a different light. Being a shy, skinny girl who talked a lot when given a chance, she never knew why she was so different and had few to no friends. A teacher in elementary told her that she looked like she was an anorexia which damaged her self esteem more than it was already. 

While in Louisiana, she lived with her grandmother, Bessie Gipson Freeman and step grandfather who were leaders in the community. Her grandmother had 3 children. She became the first female minister/pastor in her town. Many despised her because of her accepting her calling, but she was determined and never gave up the works from God. She has always and will always be known for knowing how to educate and teach.

Many years were also spent in Texas with Jacqueline Gray’s mother, brother, and sister. Her mother, Bessie Newsome raised and educated 3 children (Clinton Gray, Jacqueline Gray, and Denitra Cahee) the best she could. Working hard manual warehouse jobs, straining her back, legs, and feet, Bessie was determined to show her children the meaning of hard work. “Nothing is ever given to you for free, unless by God” – Jacqueline Gray. She raised them in church at least 3 times a week and kept them involved. They were not going to grow up in the streets.

Jacqueline Gray has 3 children of her own. Seems like mother plus 3 (4) is the perfect number throughout Jacqueline’s life. She has been married twice with both spouses abusive. In 2019 Jacqueline and her kids experienced stalking, shooting around the house, cyberbullying and lies, homelessness and much more. Their traumatic experience included being in a shelter during Hurricane Irma and was flooded in knee deep water for at least 12 hours with rats and snakes. Keeping the faith, Jacqueline did what she had to for the 4 of them to survive.

In May 2020, the name, vision, and mission were changed to We Fight 4 Life. We Fight 4 Life is a 501(c)(3) nonresidential individual and family social assistance services. dedicated to changing the culture for ALL around the globe. It works to reduce and prevent bullying and domestic violence and to help create world peace and love.
