Like the flower she was named after, Daisie Robinson stood for new beginnings. Even the daisy itself represents the unity of two different flowers blended together in perfect balance. And through our relationships with generous donors, partners, community organizations, and business entities, we aim to strike that same balance between passion and action. It’s how we’ve been able to bless over 1200 children, 150 teachers, and hundreds of mothers with our philanthropic efforts. And it’s precisely how our impact will continue to grow exponentially with each passing year. To help us continue Daisie’s legacy of empowering women and children, please donate to our 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization today. All donations are tax deductible and go towards empowering women and children so that they might have a better day, a better life.
