The Underground Fairy Godmother Network (UFGN)A community-rooted model of care and mutual upliftment from Nourish Nurture Nest
The Mission
The Underground Fairy Godmother Network was born from my lived experience, and a long-held dream to create a more generous, compassionate, and just world for mothers and children, survivors of domestic violence, and those navigating acute life challenges. It is not a nonprofit. It is a mission-driven movement.
Rooted in values of dignity, reciprocity, and heartfelt generosity, the UFGN is my way of giving back by offering sliding-scale, pay-what-you-can access to my coaching and holistic support services for women in need. It also provides direct financial aid for things like urgent car repairs, utility bills, housing deposits, or food, where even a small amount can make a transformative difference.
The Inspiration
This mission is deeply personal. Years ago, as a struggling single mother living on food stamps and dreams, a handful of generous souls helped me get back on my feet. One friend gifted me $1,000 to buy my first (of many) beloved old Volvo 240s. Another put me on a list for a housing grant simply because I had the courage to call.
That early support changed everything. It planted a seed that I have spent the past three decades nurturing.
How It Works
The UFGN is sustained through a combination of my paid offerings and generous contributions from others who believe in the power of mutual uplift. Here’s how support flows:
Clients who pay full or premium rates for my coaching, retreats, or nourishment services subsidize access for others.
Donations made through Venmo, PayPal, or other platforms go directly toward offsetting session costs or funding small but crucial needs for women in crisis.
I retain a portion of donations to ensure my own sustainability, allowing me to offer this work from a grounded, nourished place—because we cannot pour from an empty cup.
Why It Matters
The women I work with are not broken—they are brave, tender, wise, and often exhausted. Many are navigating transitions like divorce, single motherhood, layered with financial strain, grief, illness, or other destabilizing life events. Most are holding more than they should have to, with fewer resources than they deserve.
I’ve walked this path myself, and I know how life-changing it can be to be met with compassion and care. Through the UFGN, I offer that care as both a coach and a fellow traveler. I’m not here to fix or save anyone. I’m here to walk beside them, to offer reflection, nourishment, and soul-level support—whether they can pay me or not.
