Our Story:
A Foundation Born from Experience and Hope
Dedicated to transforming the lives of women and girls navigating complex hormone-related illnesses.
From Personal Struggle to Shared Mission
Our Daughters Foundation was born out of personal experience and a deep sense of calling. Every woman in our family has walked the painful and complicated path of endometriosis and/or adenomyosis—from the first confusing symptoms to the long and frustrating journey toward diagnosis and treatment.
We know firsthand how isolating and overwhelming this process can be. Many women face years of debilitating symptoms with little validation or support. While statistics vary, it often takes an average of eight years from the onset of symptoms for a woman to receive a proper diagnosis. That delay is due in part to the fact that endometriosis cannot be definitively diagnosed without laparoscopic surgery—an invasive and often costly procedure that insurance frequently does not cover.
I remember sitting in countless medical appointments with my daughters, painfully aware that so many other women were navigating this alone—without support, without resources, and without the financial means to keep fighting for answers. Even with good insurance, we were left to bear the full cost of my daughter’s first laparoscopic surgery, during which extensive disease was discovered. The ongoing care she needed was also not covered by our medical insurance.
Despite the frustration, we were fortunate. We could keep looking for answers for the often debilitating symptoms. And through those challenging years, I began to sense God placing something on my heart—a mission. After that first surgery, we began to pray. A few years and several surgeries later, it was clear: it was time to act.
Our Daughters Foundation aims to raise awareness, support vital research, and offer compassionate grants directly to women in need. Our mission is rooted in prayer, guided by compassion, and fueled by the belief that no woman should suffer in silence or carry this burden alone.
We walk alongside daughters, mothers, sisters, and friends still searching for hope, ensuring they feel seen and supported.
