Beverly, the beloved mother of our founder Faith, was a remarkable thread in this tapestry. Their journey together was one of resilience and discovery, from the days of living out of a Volkswagen van and stretching a single chicken pot pie into four meals, to the complexities of financial stability that lacked emotional connection.

Faith, a latchkey kid until the age of eight, often saw her mother through the lens of what was missing. Yet, as life unfolded, she became Beverly’s caregiver, witnessing her mother’s battle with dementia and untreatable mental health issues. It was in these tender moments, just days before Beverly’s passing, that a dear friend helped Faith see her mother’s true essence. Beverly was talented, caring, and did the best she could with the limited resources she had—both emotionally and medically.

In those final days, Faith gave her mother a renewed sense of purpose, allowing Beverly to pass with peace. This profound realization led to the birth of Beverly’s Angels, an organization dedicated to spreading kindness without the need for a specific cause. Faith now understands that Beverly was the perfect mother for her, shaping her into a compassionate leader who turned her greatest challenges into a sanctuary for thousands.

At the heart of everything we do is kindness—it is the wind in our sails, propelling us forward. We owe this spirit to Beverly, whose life and legacy continue to inspire us every day. Thank you, Beverly. You mattered, and your impact will forever be felt in the lives you have touched.
