My name is Katie Wyatt. The And Still I Rise Foundation was born not from a boardroom, but from my own journey through the dark. I know what it feels like to navigate abuse and the feeling of being discarded. And I know the power of a single hand reaching out to pull you back up.
Our mission is simple: We bring light where it is dim. We cannot fix the whole world alone. But together? We can make sure that those who come on our path do not need to rise alone.
With love from my heart to you, Katie Wyatt
Founder & CEO And Still I Rise Foundation

Nourishing bodies and souls with fresh, healthy food for families in crisis
Opening doors to education and breaking cycles of poverty for young women
One-to-one support providing healing, guidance, and hope for the future
Gentle companions offering trauma-informed healing through nature connection
