The Founder’s Parents: Late Elder Mike and Late Mrs Nma Iheadindu.
The story at our heart
From Personal Loss to Purpose
The founder grew up surrounded by the love and support of both parents. Losing their mother in 2016 and father in 2020 to complications associated with diabetes changed everything.
Reflection became a commitment to learn, share and act, so more individuals and families can find knowledge, support and hope earlier.
