Women On Wings Society

04/20/2026

It is with deep sadness that, due to extenuating circumstances, Women on Wings Society will cease operations effective May 1, 2026.

Women on Wings Society has been more than an organization—it has been a community built on trust, compassion, and a shared commitment to supporting women and families during some of their most vulnerable moments. This is one of the hardest things I have ever had to do.

Women on Wings Society was founded in loving memory of my mother. She is, and always will be, my wings. Her strength, love, and spirit has been my guide, the foundation of this work and the inspiration behind everything we have done and achieved.

We extend our sincere gratitude to all who have supported us throughout the years—our donors, volunteers, partners, and community members. Your generosity and belief in our mission made this work possible.

Most importantly, we thank the women and families we had the privilege to serve. Your strength, courage, and trust in our work will leave a lasting impact and will never be forgotten.

It has been an honour to walk alongside you, to witness your resilience, and to be part of your journeys. We are profoundly grateful for the opportunity to have been a light for when you needed it most.

Remember: you will always continue to rise. We will always continue to rise.

Thank you for being an integral part of the Women on Wings story.

Eight years ago today, God opened the gates of heaven and called you home. It’s hard to believe that so much time has passed, because in my heart it still feels like yesterday that you were here with us.

Mom, not a day goes by that I don’t think of you. Your love, your strength, and your beautiful spirit are still with me in so many ways. I feel your presence in my life, guiding me through difficult moments and celebrating with me in the joyful ones. I know you are watching over me, my brother, and your grandchildren, protecting us and surrounding us with your love.

There are so many moments when I wish I could hear your voice, ask for your advice, or simply sit beside you and feel your warmth. Your absence is deeply felt, but your love never left us. It lives on in our memories, in our hearts, and in the way we carry ourselves every day.

You helped shape the woman I am today. The compassion, strength, and resilience you showed continue to inspire me in my life and in the work I do. I carry your spirit with me always, and through the love I give to others, your legacy continues to live on.

Though you are no longer here physically, you are forever a part of me. I will continue to honour you, remember you, and love you with all my heart.

You are deeply missed today and every day.

I love you forever, Mom. 🤍✨

One of the things I’ve noticed over the years of working with our clients is how uncomfortable many of them are with asking for help. I understand this deeply, because I was once one of those women.

I didn’t know how to receive. I didn’t know how to ask for help. I believed I should do everything on my own—that I could do it on my own—and I didn’t want to be a burden to anyone.

What we often don’t realize is that carrying everything alone becomes incredibly heavy. It’s exhausting—mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically. We were never meant to do life on our own.

I had to learn the gift of receiving. I had to become okay with others wanting to be there for me, to help me, and to support me. Asking for help does not make you weak. In fact, it’s quite the opposite—it makes you stronger.

If someone offers you support, and their giving comes from a genuine place, allowing yourself to receive is not a weakness. It’s human. Connection and community are essential, and they are deeply healing.

Sometimes, all you need is for someone to hold space for you.

All you have to do is say yes… and receive.
