Dr. Darion Walton and Dr. Varion Walton was raised in a household, where faith, hard work, and giving back were not suggestions, they were a way of life. As first-generation college students, they learned early that perseverance opens doors and that success is meant to be shared.

Growing up, they spent countless days riding bikes through their neighborhood. Like many kids, they remember the frustration of a bike coming to a sudden stop, not because the whole chain was broken, but because one small link slipped or snapped. Everything else was still intact, but without that link, forward progress wasn’t possible.

That childhood memory became a powerful truth.

So many individuals and families aren’t lacking ability, effort, or potential, they’re missing a link. A connection. A resource. Someone willing to step in and help them move forward.

Rooted in their faith and raised to believe in God and live like Jesus, the Waltons created Walton Inspires to be that connection. Through initiatives like The Link, they work to bridge gaps, carry burdens, and connect people to the support they need, not just to survive, but to thrive.

Because sometimes, it’s not everything that’s broken, it’s just the link.
