History
In 2007, Johnnie & Jayda Cabbell came together to form the Blessing in The Sky Foundation (BITS). They were inspired to start an organization to address the ailments of our communities and the brokenness of Families.
The Foundation was founded on the core Family values of love, loyalty, communication and spirituality, which were instilled in each of them from childhood. Just as Families are the core of the community, Family values are the common thread in the fabric of the Foundation.

The meteoric rise of HAHE speaks volumes about the potential rewards for daring to stand apart from the pack, as well as taking advantage of unexpected opportunities. Cabbell’s entrepreneurial spirit comes natural. At the dawn of his career, Cabbell started off as his own support team. However within the past six years, he has seen his staff grow from a one-man show to a ten person operation, as well as from sharing office space to occupying three headquarters.
Efficient, personable, tenacious, goal-oriented, reliable and inspiring are all adjectives that can be used to describe the man and the company. He exemplifies how to persevere in the face of formidable distractions, a major coup given the glamorous profession he is connected to. “You have to stay humble,” asserts Cabbell. “I know that’s why I’ve been able to maintain at this high-level for so long. While I do like to compensate myself with nice things for the long hours I put in, I know the importance of staying true to myself and blessing others as I have been blessed.”
