VISION STATEMENT
To create a safe, supportive, and empowering space where women can rebuild their lives, find healing, and step into their full potential—one act at a time.
The Heart Behind One Act Collective
When I first imagined this foundation, I didn’t see just a building—I saw a home. I saw women walking through our doors carrying the weight of the world on their shoulders and leaving with hope, dignity, and the tools to rebuild their lives.
My dream is to create a space where no woman feels unseen or forgotten, where every child has a warm meal, and where safety isn’t a privilege but a right. I want our foundation to be a place of healing: a food pantry that fills empty cupboards, a shelter that offers rest, and a community that whispers, You are not alone. I dream of classrooms filled with women discovering new skills, mothers finding the childcare they need to take the next step, and families sitting down together for hot meals shared with love.
Currently, I’m focused on laying the foundation—fundraising to make this vision possible and working diligently to secure a space that meets health department regulations for safely storing food. These first steps may seem small, but they are the beginning of something much bigger.
This nonprofit is about more than services—it’s about acts of compassion, one at a time, that ripple out into generations. My dream is that one day, every woman who passes through our doors will leave not just with resources, but with the deep knowing that she is worthy, capable, and never alone.
Currently registered in New Jersey and in the process of obtaining 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status, the One Act Foundation relies on the generosity of donors and volunteers. Every contribution, no matter the size, goes directly toward helping women and families overcome challenges and thrive.
