ABOUT JESSICA WOOLWINE
As Co-Founder and Vice President of The Life Ring Foundation, my mission is deeply personal. After watching our daughter Charlotte fight and survive pediatric cancer, I’ve made it my purpose to help other families win that same battle.At Life Ring, we believe in creating the shortest distance between means and needs. Our 501(c)(3) public charity operates with a lean, direct-impact model, ensuring that every dollar goes where it matters most: to the children and families who need it.What began as a grassroots effort to make Southwest Virginia a happier, healthier place has grown into a foundation focused on childhood cancer awareness, care, cure, and treatment, while continuing to support causes that strengthen the community we love. From putting hundreds of Christmas presents under trees, to feeding the hungry, to supporting domestic violence victims and literacy programs, our goal is simple: to make an immediate, tangible impact in people’s lives.For me, this work isn’t charity, it’s a calling. Every family we help, every child we lift up, is a reminder of why we started.If you believe in the power of community and want to help kids in Southwest Virginia fight cancer and thrive, I invite you to connect and join us in this mission. Together, we can make a difference, one child, one family, one act of kindness at a time.
