The mission of the Rise to Resilience Fund is to empower women who’ve faced hardship to rebuild their lives with confidence, creativity, and purpose. This fund supports women pursuing education, certifications, or purpose-driven ventures that reflect their resilience and desire to create positive change. My philanthropic goal is to build a supportive network where women not only receive financial help but also gain visibility, mentorship, and a sense of belonging. Every award represents a story of transformation — from surviving to thriving — and a reminder that healing and success can coexist.
