Founding Story and Inspiration Behind the Organization


The inspiration behind Blessing Our Women Inc. stems from the personal journey of our founder, Nydia Wells.

Determined to turn her pain into purpose, Nydia founded Blessing Our Women Inc. to provide a safe haven and comprehensive support system for survivors of domestic violence.

Nydia's dedication and resilience have been the driving forces behind the organization's success and growth.
