A message from our founder:

I founded this organization after my battle with mental health. I was functioning with no gas in the tank and that led to me forgetting to choose health insurance with my job. I was ashamed and things continued to progress. I was eventually too depressed to work. I was crying during meetings and could barely get out of bed to get my kids to school. I spent all my savings and my life was in shambles. I was losing everything piece by piece. It was the lowest I had ever been. I felt isolated and too ashamed to tell anyone what was going on. When it all fell apart I wasn't able to mask it anymore. I could only recover because of the love and support of those around me.

Everyone doesn't have the support they need around them like I did.

Once I made it to the other side of the darkness, I wondered: if I had the resources to cover a few therapy sessions, some prescription refills, and people to connect with who truly understood what it felt like to be where I was, would I have emerged sooner… before it came close to costing me my life?

I never want anyone to feel the way I felt.

Together we can support the women who need it most but never ask.
