My Nonprofit Reviews

On August 27, 2012, my best friend, Paula suffered an AFE and was unable to recover and passed away. Devastation can not begin to describe how I felt. Through a friend, I was put in touch with the AFE Foundation. Miranda, the founder, personally reached out to me. I don't remember most of the conversation, but I remember knowing how nice it was to talk to someone who could understand my confusion and loss. Miranda called and texted often, sending me resources, recommending books and being a shoulder to cry on over the phone. I learned about the AFE Foundation and their goals and I knew I wanted to be part of it. Three of us decided to hold a 5K in Paula's hometown in her honor to raise awareness and money for the AFE Foundation. We have raised almost $40,000 in the 5 years we have held the 5K. The Foundation is doing incredible work to help end this horrible and often fatal complication of pregnancy. I miss Paula everyday, I miss that smile, but knowing that I am part of the solution offers some peace. I don't know where I would be without the support of the AFE Foundation.
