Rebuild the Foundation was founded in 2019 during Covid in Chicago, il. The Goal of rebuild the foundation was to help families with food and education on Covid -19. We were able to feed over 300 families smith without no government funding or assistance the board together used their own monies and resources and donation from local food pages that shared with us. During the Pandemic we also partnered local health departments to give out Covid -19 Vaccines, clothes to those in need. The food boxes consisted of enough food to feed a family for two weeks. Rebuild the foundation is still a chapter and runs every month in Illinois. Here in Michigan where I live now I transferred Rebuild the foundation entity to form and help women and children who are suffering from homelessness domestic violence and Drug Addiction. To educate and guide as well to direct them on a better path in life. The goal is to open homes for the women to live in until they can transition back into society as a renewed Individual. This year’s conference Theme is Sister 2 Sister from Pain to Power. So many women young and season are still suffering from post-covid depression and suicide and in Michigan the domestic violence rate is rising every day, and many women are losing their lives to domestic violence alone. The conference and workshops will focus on Pain, Fear, Depression and Mental Health for women of all ages. Our goal is to help someone if not everyone. If you’re able to see a seed into our conference, please know it would help to continue to help women and children here in Michigan.
