BONDED
A nonprofit organization co-founded by Shayana Phillips and Nina Pham, we've set out to make a difference to the lives of young individuals who has faced or is facing the hardship of a parent or guardian battling cancer.
In that moment of discovery, we instantly bonded.
After my mother passed away, I spent years struggling to hold on to our connection. As time passed, her memory seemed to fade, and the life we shared together felt like it was slipping further away. I longed for a way to stay connected, to continue bonding with her, even though she was no longer physically here.
Understanding this hardship - I knew I wanted to help others in similar situations. Thus came this non-profit organization - something to provide and support, something to encourage & impact, something to make a real difference.. And of course, something that's near & dear to our hearts. That when BONDED was born.
Stories are gifts to share.
"There is a surrendering to your story and then a knowing that you don't have to stay in your story."
BONDED invites you to share your story and read that of others to empower one another.
The heart that gives, gathers.
"We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give." - Winston Churchill
To give is the foundation and sole purpose of BONDED but it's not without your help and generosity.
We heal, not in isolation, but in togetherness.
Coming together as a community is already a great feat but we're only as strong as our individual parts. BONDED fundraisers intend to uplift ourselves + everyone else to continue loving, giving, and healing together.
