The Founding of MWA

In today’s fast-paced and often unforgiving work environment, many professionals find themselves battling stress, burnout, and exploitation. Korey Gregory Miracle knows this struggle firsthand. A multifaceted entrepreneur with a background in business and entertainment, Korey turned his personal hardships into a mission to help others. As the Founder, President, and CEO of Miracle Workers Alliance, he has been dedicating his time to creating a nonprofit that provides mental health support, resources, and community collectiveness for those who need it most.

Korey’s journey hasn’t been without its challenges. Growing up in a middle-lower-class family, he witnessed financial hardship firsthand. His father battled cancer, a terrifying ordeal that, thankfully, he survived. While his upbringing instilled resilience, Korey faced additional hurdles as he entered the workforce.

Despite his education and work ethic, Korey found himself exploited in workplaces that undervalued his talent. “I was working myself to the bone, barely making ends meet,” he recalls. “I had the degrees, the skills, and the drive, but I was constantly told I needed to ‘prove myself’ or ‘work harder’ to earn a livable wage. It was exhausting—mentally, emotionally, and physically.”

The pressure took a toll on his mental health. He felt trapped in an endless cycle of underpayment, overwork, and gaslighting from employers who dangled false promises of advancement. “I was doing everything I was supposed to do, but it wasn’t enough. It put me in a really dark place.”

But Korey refused to let these hardships define him. Instead, he chose to fight back—not just for himself, but for others experiencing the same struggles.

Drawing from his experiences, Korey founded Miracle Workers Alliance, a nonprofit dedicated to mental health advocacy, community support, and fostering safe, inclusive spaces—both online and offline. Recognizing the power of gaming as a form of escape and connection, he also launched Gamers for Wellness, a program under the nonprofit that focuses on using video games as a tool for mental health awareness.

“People shouldn’t have to suffer in silence,” Korey says. “Whether it’s workplace exploitation, financial hardship, or just the weight of everyday life, mental health matters. I wanted to build something that reminds people they’re not alone and that help is out there.”

Korey’s own struggles with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) also fueled his passion for advocacy. He faced difficulties throughout middle and high school due to his neurodivergence, but through perseverance, he not only graduated—he excelled. Being the first in his family to earn a Master of Science degree was an accomplishment he once thought impossible. Now, he uses his platform to show others that success is achievable, no matter the obstacles.

Miracle Workers Alliance continues to grow, offering support to individuals struggling with mental health, workplace stress, and financial insecurity. Korey hopes to expand its reach, providing more resources and community-driven initiatives to make a lasting impact.

For Korey, this is more than just a nonprofit—it’s a movement. A movement to stand up for those who feel unheard, to challenge toxic work environments, and to foster a world where mental health is prioritized, not ignored.

“If I can help even one person avoid the struggles I went through,” Korey says, “then every hardship I faced was worth it.”
