Candace Cameron Bure wants to help those in need, and she credits her faith in God for the steps she takes to do just that.
“You know, the Bible tells us to help the least of these, to help the widows and the orphans,” she told Fox News Digital. “I mean, that’s a calling for every one of us, and so, of course, my faith guides me in my choices that I make.”
The FULL HOUSE star is referencing Isaiah 1:17, which says, “Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow.”
Bure continued, “I couldn’t live out my Christian calling without helping those in need. And I mean, I guess that’s the guiding light for me… It just, it feels so good to give and participate in helping change someone’s life or adding to it, giving them hope, watching their resilience. To let them know that they are loved, and they’re cared for, and they are worthy of being here and being loved by people and especially by God.”

She recently partnered with Free Wheelchair Mission, an organization that seeks to distribute wheelchairs to those in developing countries “providing renewed dignity, independence, freedom, and joy through the gift of mobility.”
“You’re going into more remote places where people don’t have access. They don’t have running water or necessarily power,” Bure explained.
She shared with the outlet what a blessing it has been to lend her support to the organization.
“It really changes who you are, the joy that you are able to give to someone and to see this need fulfilled,” Bure explained. “It’s the biggest gift that I could personally receive, and it’s not about me. You’re there to give, and yet I’m the one that’s – I feel like I’m walking away with even more.”
Acts 20:35 supports this principle: “I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”
“A child who once had to be carried can now attend school. A parent who could not provide for their family can do meaningful work. It brings freedom, not just to the individual, but to those around them,” Bure said of people who were touched by Free Wheelchair Mission.
Last month in a post to Instagram, Bure shared photos from her first mission with Free Wheelchair Mission.
“I witnessed first-hand how a single wheelchair can open up a world of possibility, restoring independence, dignity, and hope to people with disabilities,” she wrote in the post.
Bure is a shining example that it doesn’t matter who you are, will are all called to help one another and lift up those in need.
