About the founder
I’m Tiaycia Myers, founder of the 1 Parent Foundation.
This mission was born from my own story of loss and resilience after experiencing the passing of my daughter’s father during pregnancy. I know firsthand the challenges that come with grief, healing, and rebuilding.
The 1 Parent Foundation exists to bring comfort, resources, and community to children and caregivers who have experienced the loss of a parent. My heart is to remind every family that they are not alone and that healing is possible through love, support, and connection.

To provide support, resources, and community for children who have lost a parent and their surviving caregiver.
Jeremiah 29:11
"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope."
