Brent and Christina Yates founded RESTORE US with a burning passion to love and serve people. With a unique model of giving, Restore US sees a need and rushes to meet that need. No red tape. No paperwork. Feet on the ground. Arms wide open. Radical generosity in action. When we go out in the name of radical giving - giving of our time, of our hearts, of our resources – we too are restored.

 

BRENT YATES

I’m a business owner from Columbus, Ohio, married to my beautiful partner, Christina. Together we have six children and six grandchildren. For some time now, I have known that I am on this planet to go beyond raising a family and running businesses.

God continues to bless my family in many ways. I have been given a hand up many times in life and without those helping hands, I would not be in this place to be able to start a foundation. I am passionate to inspire others along the way to join us on this mission.

I’m a committed father, loving husband, doting grandfather, athlete, entrepreneur, and philanthropist. I have people I deeply love and who love me, a mindset of positivity, and financial abundance that enables me to give back to the causes and organizations that need it most. The Restore Us Foundation allows us the opportunity to give radically to those who need it most.

CHRISTINA YATES

As a Certified International Federation Coach and Certified Enneagram Practitioner, I look to bring a sense of peace and permanency to my clients' personal and professional lives. To that end, I strongly believe in digging deep and doing the work, getting down to the foundations of the authentic self in order to uproot negative thought patterns and build lasting structure, meaning, and purpose. .

I'm a coach by trade but a philanthropist at heart and extremely passionate about issues surrounding women and children. I am fortunate to have been a co-founder of Make A Noise, an organization committed to educating women about ovarian cancer. I was a radio host for St. Gabriel Catholic radio AM820 as well as the founder of Columbus Catholic Women’s Conference hosting thousands of attendees. My biggest accomplishment is being a mother and a leader in my company, church and community. I am committed to sharing the good news.

I am an entrepreneur focused on real estate, finance and management. I build relationships. While I have benefited professionally from this skill, I am looking forward to joining Restore Us and their mission to connect and build relationships with the underserved and others in need. I am passionate about learning, serving, motivating and promoting significant positive change in communities and individuals through advocacy and compassion. I take pride in hard things and hope to impact those who simply need a better way.
