Women's Health and Resilience Foundation 2024 Impact Statement

​

In 2024, the Women's Health and Resilience Foundation made a meaningful impact on the lives of women and girls in Charlotte and surrounding areas. Through our programs and initiatives, we provided critical resources, support, and opportunities for underserved communities:

​

  • Empowering Women and Girls: We delivered over 60 coats to women and girls in shelters and domestic violence homes, ensuring warmth and comfort during the colder months.

  • Health Education: Our foundation conducted women's health education sessions, reaching over 60 underserved women and girls, fostering awareness and resilience.

  • Holiday Support: We provided toys to children, enabling their mothers to create joyful holiday memories.

  • Nourishment and Care: We provided food to women in need, addressing immediate necessities and demonstrating compassion.

  • Breast Cancer Advocacy: We stood alongside women battling breast cancer, writing grants, accompanying them to chemo and radiation treatments, walking with them, and honoring survivors, thrivers, fighters, and those we lost by supporting their families.

 

Gift Contributions
To celebrate and uplift breast cancer warriors, we gifted experiences and items worth over $6,040, including luxurious getaways, curated wellness baskets, and special recognition items such as:

  • Hotel getaways, spa essentials event tickets, and premium jewelry.

  • Custom serenity, vision, and self-care baskets.

  • Exclusive wine tastings, yoga classes, and personalized portrait sessions.
