Phinisee Promise Foundation
exists for the moments no one plans for.
The diagnosis that changes everything.
The crisis that shakes a home.
The silent mental battle no one sees.
The night a mother and child need somewhere safe to go.
We are dedicated to restoring hope to families impacted by breast cancer, mental health challenges, unforeseen crises, and domestic violence.
We believe that when a woman feels safe, a child feels protected.
When a child feels protected, a family can begin to heal.
And when families heal, communities grow stronger.
Our Mission
To provide compassionate support, safe spaces, and healing-centered programs that empower women and protect children during life’s most difficult seasons.
Through advocacy, emotional wellness support, crisis response, and our Jump for Joy Program - Mumble Jumbo Play House, we ensure that no family walks through hardship alone.
Our Core Values
Compassion
We lead with empathy and understanding, meeting families exactly where they are.
Dignity
Every woman, every child, deserves to be treated with respect — no matter their circumstances.
Safety
We prioritize secure environments where healing can begin without fear.
Hope
Even in crisis, we believe brighter futures are possible.
Community
Healing does not happen in isolation! it happens together.
Our Board
Phinisee Promise Foundation is led by women who know struggle! and chose healing.
We are survivors of domestic violence.
We are daughters who endured loss.
We are women who stood alone and found strength through faith and community.
Each leader carries lived experience that fuels our mission.
We don’t speak from textbooks.
We speak from scars that turned into strength.
Our spiritual foundation guides everything we do, believing that God places people in our lives to lift us, heal us, and help us rise together.

Mariah L. Young
Treasurer & Financial Stewardship Leader
Mariah L. Young’s strength was forged through loss and independence at a young age. After losing her mother as a teenager and growing up without the presence of her father, Mariah learned early what it meant to rely on faith, resilience, and inner strength.
Through life’s challenges, she discovered the power of chosen family. The sisters and community God placed around her to uplift, support, and guide her.
This journey shaped her deep belief in showing up for others, especially women and families navigating hardship alone.
Mariah brings both compassion and responsibility to the foundation, ensuring that every resource is handled with integrity and love, knowing firsthand how much support can change a life.
