HEAL's Story 💕

Our "why" to serve mothers on their cancer journey.

Lauren turned adversity into purpose, using her experience to make a positive impact on the lives of others.

One mom's experience became a community that still walks alongside Arizona families today.

Where it started

One diagnosis sparked a league of support.

Lauren Daniels founded HEAL in 2004 — and a community has been growing ever since.

Lauren's "why"

When Lauren faced breast cancer at 35, her children ranged in age from 1 to 11. Lauren and her husband Sean were so grateful for all of the help and support they received during this trying time.

Lauren turned adversity into purpose, using her experience to make a positive impact on the lives of others. One mom's experience became a community that still walks alongside Arizona families today.

Today that same spirit guides everything we do — from gift cards that help with groceries and bills to back-to-school outreach, holiday gift programs, and Farmer's Market days at the HEAL Farm.
