Donations
A Note from Madeline:
To all the amazing women who have reached out to me with others of support for those in need: thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your kindness and generosity are an inspiration to me.
I am constantly humbled by the love and compassion shown by the women in our community. For some, the struggle to make ends meet is overwhelming, and they barely have enough to put food on the table. For others, the means to leave their difficult situations are within reach, but they need a helping hand to take that first step.
That's where you come in. Together, we form a powerful force of compassion and support, an "army" of women who refuse to let our sisters suffer alone. It takes more than a village to make a difference in the lives of those in need; it takes an army.
So I call on all of you, my women army, to continue to support and uplift one another. Your contributions, no matter how big or small, make a tangible impact on the lives of those we seek to help. Let us come together to create a brighter future for all women, and let us never forget the power of our collective love and strength.
With gratitude and love,
Madeline ♥️
Our Current Mission
I'm writing to you to share a story that's been weighing heavy on my heart of a mother and child who is in desperate need of our support. She has been silently enduring a marriage full of cheating, emotional, mental, and financial abuse. She uncovered her husband's more recent infidelity, discovering he had been cheating on her with prostitutes during work trips and even finding him active on dating/hook up apps. Which was further confirmed through a loyalty test. He has become increasingly more aggressive and uses intimidation to scare her. She shared with me that her 5 year old daughter used to tremble in fear when he would come home and our girl was fearing for both of their safety before she took action.
Unfortunately, her situation is not uncommon, yet the extent of his cruelty continues to shock her and myself as well. Despite being entitled to a settlement, alimony, and child support, she finds herself completely destitute as he has cut her off from all resources. He has left her with nothing in the meantime. I mean nothing.
This woman is a fighter and I’m incredibly proud of her. Instead of breaking down and acting helpless, she has taken action to move her life forward regardless of these circumstances. She contacted her old employer (the one she had before she had her daughter and he pressured her into quitting) and they have found a part time position for her starting in 3 weeks! In the meantime has been picking up babysitting jobs from friends, cleaning houses, and doing food delivery. She has applied for government assistance. We know how slow the court system is, and she’s not standing around just waiting. She’s taking action. She refuses to be a victim.
Even with all her efforts, she will still not be able to get on her feet for a few months. She is currently at her best friend's apartment, sleeping on the couch with her daughter. She’s grateful to have a place to go, but we know this is not a feasible situation long-term, especially with a young child.
At this critical time, she needs our collective support now more than ever. I am asking you to join me in raising $6,000 to provide her with the means to secure a studio apartment (covering the first month's rent and deposit), access to medical attention to test for STD’s, groceries, legal fees to her attorney, etc.
We've all experienced moments of vulnerability, understanding all too well the insidious nature of abuse and its gradual destruction of self-identity. Personally, I feel disgusted that there are people out there putting their family through this, and this can be a time to come together and turn our anger into action!
As part of our Women Army, I believe in us to help her escape the clutches of this dangerous and abusive man. I know that together we can empower our girl to give her the boost she needs to rebuild her life, free from fear and abuse, so she can heal and provide a stable life for her and her daughter.
Thank you for your compassion and generosity. It’s your turn to say “I got you, girl.” ♥️
Love you all,
Madeline

Can I donate via Amazon Wishlist?
Due to the privacy and security of the clients, many women do not want to participate in an Amazon wishlist. Even with the highest privacy settings, you can still see their name and/or town they reside in. Often times, they are trying to leave a specific household and do not want anything shipped there, as their address may change and/or they would prefer the help they are receiving to remain discreet from the partner they are leaving.
Who/where does it go to?
I build a personal relationship with many of my clients. Based on my own careful discretion on their individualized needs, I distribute funds accordingly. In situations of paying bills, rent, etc., I contact the appropriate party and make the donation directly and/or obtain the proper paperwork to ensure legitimacy upon providing the women in need with funds.
What items are the funds used for?
Anything from rent, diapers, clothing, groceries, keeping the heat on, etc.
In some cases, these funds will assist with medical and legal expenses typically paid directly to the bill collector.
How much goes to the women in need?
All profits of what you donate goes directly towards helping these women.
I do NOT keep any profits for personal or financial gain.
Can I donate directly to one woman?
Due to the nature of privacy laws, I have found it most efficient and secure to create a single place to donate. This protects both myself and donors from having women submit fictitious stories in order to benefit from the empathy of viewers and receive undeserved funds. I use extremely careful discretion in choosing who receives these funds.
What if the Mission's goal is exceeded?
We make every effort to use donations in accordance with the donor's wishes specific to the current Mission, but in certain circumstances when the goal is exceeded, we may redirect donations to other women in need that align with our business objectives of helping women.
The Successful Outcome from Our Last Empowerment Mission!
