Our History
Every story that I hear about a widow compels me to do something to help someone through the journey. After I lost my beloved husband Mark in 2018, my faith and reliance on God pulled me through and I have felt called since then to develop something that would support other widows. My strong calling has only become more intense over the years and I believe I can do something to make a difference.
