Changing the World.
One Mama at a time.

YANA (You are not alone) was born in 2017 from two heartbreaking tragedies that shook our community. Two mothers, overwhelmed by unimaginable despair, took their lives and the lives of their children. Their stories changed us forever and sparked a powerful question: What if no mom ever had to face that kind of darkness alone?

From that grief came a movement rooted in hope, compassion, and connection. A movement built on one simple mission: to change the world, one mama at a time.

At YANA, we believe every mother deserves to feel safe, valued, and accepted.  We walk alongside moms providing meaningful connection, emotional support, trusted resources, and a community that reminds them: you don’t have to do this alone.

Because supporting a mother means supporting her baby, her family, and the strength of our entire community.

What began with unimaginable loss has become a growing movement of hope. Together, we are building a world where every mom knows she matters, she belongs, and she is never alone. 💜
