Starting a new non-profit for Women Mental Health and Canine Recue

This is a summary written by my co-founder Kristina.



Two women, life long friends, and their dogs, have decided to use their experiences, resources & resolve to give back to their community. With your help, The Empowerment Coalition will provide locals with no cost and small sliding scale donation funded classes, tools, support and activities to take their self esteem to the next level.

The classes/groups/workshops/activities will include: art, music, meditation, massage, dance, martial arts, poetry readings, professional make-up tips, photo shoots, crafts, nature outings and yoga. The resources will include contact information for local wellness & health practitioners, access to reading/audio/video materials we’ve found helpful, K9 hugs & cuddles and lists of additional neighborhood businesses that foster love, enlightenment and growth.

It is our goal to provide our beloved city of Yucaipa and it’s surrounding areas, with a non-judgmental safe haven to learn, dance, create and express themselves, side by side with the unconditional love of our trained emotional support dogs. Our K9 companions will join us from our planned animal rescue where we foster, board, love and train them with the goal of finding them permanent, furever homes. We believe that the alliance of people and pets results in empowering life-long love for both.

As a nonprofit organization we will fund this work through vigorous promotion of our organization to philanthropic organizations and individuals, endlessly applying for grants and from the sales of member-made crafts and quality vintage clothes and home décor, along with any and all means we find to be successful and enduring for this coalition. Longevity and growth is important for long-term impact and success.

We need your help to turn our dream into the reality of love and support for all who ask.

The bulk of our initial costs include a lawyer retainer, incorporation & dog boarding fees, and a retail space lease. Join the Emotional Revolution Circle of Love, help us help in a real way.
