9 years ago I was catapulted, heart first ,into this desert I now call home. I had endured 2 personal battles with breast cancer that created an absolute vortex of chaos in my life. My scars were not only physical, but those type of scars that seer so deeply into the soul that traversing the days seemed an impossibility. It was at this time I had the very wonderful fortune to be introduced to Lauren and her HEAL family. I was blessed during my cancer journey to have never needed help of any kind, I had money, I had a beautiful house to rest in, I had food to feed my sons, I had nothing to worry about except my treatment plan. HEAL opened my eyes and my heart simultaneously- what Lauren does for women suffering through the minefield that is cancer , is remarkable.
The committed community Lauren has built is nothing short of angels at work on earth.
The assistance HEAL provides to these families cannot be measured in dollars, but only in love. I play the lottery sometimes and fantasize about winning it so I could show up at Lauren’s HEAL house door and say “ here you go, this is for you Lauren, keep HEAL going forever.”
Lauren is the essence of dedication-under Her tutelage women have hope, help and a place that provides strength for the very difficult journey. Children have a sense of not feeling alone and terrified as the mothers they love so ardently, navigate chemo.
HEAL is an amazing organization- please help wherever You can , however you can
This non-profit and those who work to keep it going is truly a blessing for many women who are facing the biggest challenge of their life; beating cancer while also having to be a strong, warrior mama. HEAL is a place of refuge for them and their kids. It is a place where they can get both emotional and financial assistance to help them continue to move forward.
What a fantastic organization. I have watched you through the years help moms with cancer and their children. As a cancer survivor myself, I know firsthand how valuable loving support is and how it helps you get through it. Your assistance through family events and personal help. Heal is a blessing beyond measure!
Great people that took a family illness, supported themselves through it and then created an organization dedicated to helping others. Their work is meaningful and comes from a place of love and caring.
This organization has a heart as big if not bigger than it's leader Lauren! She is a true inspiration to show others how coming together for a cause can truly make a difference! As a cancer survivor herself, her compassion is unwavering. HEAL does so much good for those in need, the Mom's struggling to fight their cancer with small children. If you want to make a difference in someone's life, volunteer or donate to this amazing organization!!
I love this charity because their volunteers work so diligently to assist mothers recovering from cancer. Who needs more help than a mom?
I love this charity because it truly inspires me to be a better person.
Lauren, the founder is amazing, she keeps giving of herself and doesn't stop, ever! She and her charity have helped hundreds of women with cancer and their families with medical bills, food, clothing and just about anything they need! Their big fundraiser is an amazing fairytale tea that you must not miss!

The Happily Ever After League headed by the amazing Lauren Daniels is just incredible. Lauren keeps giving and never stops. The work she selflessly does for the hundreds of women throughout the years makes me cry each time I read one of their stories. The teas she puts on year after year grew from a little charming tea in a backyard to a elegant fantasy full blown event that is sold out at a five star hotel now that raises thousands of dollars for this truly amazing totally non profit organization that is so unbelievable. You just have to visit the house and Lord Hamilton, the adorable mini piglet that is the Goodwill Ambassador! He is just darling.
Incredible organization and great team of people helping people in need. Great to know this support is out there to help Mom's and families. Keep up the great work!
I have nothing but positive experiences with HEAL! My daughter was sick with Glioblastoma Multiforme (the worst type of brain cancer) for 91/2 years and the Happily Ever After League was there for her everyday of her survival. She spoke at there events and was the most positive person regarding her disease.. The HEAL house was very responsible for her positive outlook. Thank you Lauren Daniels and your wonderful group of volunteers! You were great friends to Deni and I cherish every moment we all got to be together. Hugs to everyone on this great team of women! Love you all!
Lauren Daniels and her staff at HEAL are beyond gracious ambassadors in the fight against cancer. Their events and outreach have tentacles way beyond the event itself. As a survivor herself, Lauren brings legitimacy and grace to the fight that so many women and their families face. They continually create events and cause based outreach that is creative, relevant, dynamic and engaging. From the Heels for HEAL walk to the FairyTale Tea and the home they provide as refuge and food pantry for families, there simply is no other non-profit with a more amazing staff and vision. It has been my honor to attend several events over the years and to watch HEAL build a legacy In Arizona and now, Atlanta. Onwards for HEAL. Bravo!
Lauren Daniels is my sister in-law and I am proud to say that. Her selfless commitment to those in need has not only inspired me, but most importantly the younger generation of our family. Her role model qualities exemplify to others, that it only takes one to make the world a better place. While H.E.A.L has grown from a grass roots charity status to an organization that makes a big difference in the lives of Mother's battling breast cancer, Lauren has never put herself at front and center stage, she graciously does her good work behind the scenes. The true definition of a giver through and through.

The HEAL organization was a great help in dealing with my sister's breast cancer diagnosis, treatment and recovery. My sister was first diagnosed in November of 2005. The mother of one of her friends told her about HEAL. She and her husband called and were immediately assisted financially, but were also informed of all that they had to offer cancer patients and survivors.
HEAL organizes many events throughout each month that families can participate in as well as come together to share their struggles and successes. The majority of the events are kid friendly, and I can attest to their effectiveness of teaching my very young niece about cancer as well as affording her the ability to be among other kids who have mother's with cancer.
My sister was again diagnosed in November of 2006. She opted to have a total mastectomy, and HEAL was again there to assist in any way she needed.
HEAL is a wonderful organization and should be recognized as such.
