Founder & Executive Director — Both Hands Foundation

JT Olson is the founder and executive director of Both Hands Foundation -- a faith-based non-profit serving orphans and widows. With over 153 million orphans worldwide and the costs of adoption on the rise, their mission is to fulfill James 1:27 by serving orphans, widows, and Christian adoptive families. Their purpose is to help Christian adoptive families fund their adoptions by coordinating a service project fixing up a widow’s home. The vision is to see the day when finances are not an obstacle for Christian families who are led to adopt, while simultaneously serving every widow in need of home repairs. JT and his wife Sara have been married for over 35 years and have five children (four bio and one chosen): Jeff, Daley, Nick, Max & Grace. They reside in Brentwood, TN, just south of Nashville.
