From Foster Care to CEO™

A personal journey that became a lifelong commitment to others.

The Beginning

How one woman's journey from foster care became a foundation for thousands.

Mothers Who Care Foundation was founded in 2024 by Meighan Cole-Bailey.

Growing up in foster care and experiencing poverty changed the way she viewed the world. Through the eyes of a foster child, she learned the life-changing impact of compassion, opportunity, and one person choosing to care.

Those experiences became the foundation of her personal journey—from Foster Care to CEO™—and inspired a lifelong commitment to helping others.

Years later, while caring for her grandmother after a debilitating stroke, Meighan witnessed the challenges families face when navigating caregiving, accessing resources, and finding support.

Those experiences led to one simple belief:

No one should have to face life's challenges alone.

That belief became the foundation for Mothers Who Care Foundation.

Today, the organization continues to bring that vision to life by connecting communities, building partnerships, and creating opportunities that empower individuals and strengthen families.

Our Mission

Why this foundation exists and who it was built to serve.

Why Mothers Who Care?

This isn't just another nonprofit.

Mothers Who Care Foundation was created from a simple belief:

No one should have to navigate life's challenges alone.

Whether someone is searching for resources, rebuilding after hardship, caring for a loved one, starting over, or simply looking for a community that cares — we believe everyone deserves to feel seen, supported, and connected.

When one mother rises,
she lifts her whole community with her.
