Since the inception of Designed For Joy, we’ve served and supported 168 women, providing over $650,000 in living wages. The need remains critical as we continue addressing pressing justice issues like trafficking, homelessness, justice involvement, and substance use.

In tribute to Cary’s unwavering dedication, please consider making a donation to Designed For Joy. Your gift will help ensure that her passion for supporting women continues to flourish, providing them with the opportunity for healing, growth, and financial independence.

Let’s carry forward Cary's inspiring work—together, we will continue changing lives.
