Created by a single mom hundreds of miles from her own village, this platform was born from extreme need. We are not meant to be raising our kids, maintaining houses, and tending gardens all on our own.

Her Why
The year was 2025. Hit with another layoff, juggling multiple jobs, and facing 99 house problems she didn’t know how to fix, Founder Heatherlee went harder at trying to find, and create community everywhere she went, motivated by her own need for help, support, connection, and a list of people nearby she could call or text when she’s in a mess. This was a big need she needed to fill. Getting the Village Back became her mission.

Why Back her?
The reason Heatherlee is building this platform is simple. She needs it and it doesn’t yet exist. She lives states away from family and her happiness, health, and bank account has suffered. She wishes this isolated, lonely experience of motherhood on no one.

Fiercely independent, as a product of her loneliness, Heatherlee is an self made designer, consultant, community organizer, and after art teacher. She’s also a a yogi and empathetic, artist and researcher that can’t unsee or un-feel what she’s felt. As she completes her research phase (now - December 2025), she remains motivated by 3 sad truths.

Truth 1. Moms are lonely.
If we dig back far enough into our roots there used to be “the village” backing moms and dads through pregnancy, birth, raising our kids and beyond. No matter what continent she was born into, long ago, moms were surrounded and supported. Today, the research is real and it’s alarming, isolation and loneliness plague every other household on every block in America. In some places it’s bleak. The neighborhood days are dying. Latchkey kids no longer exist. Tablets replaced treehouses. Entrepreneurship replaced family game nights. Consuming replaced connecting. Modern families replaced nuclear families...

Truth 2. Single parenthood is on the rise.
It’s been trending, it’s been documented. Regardless of the reasons, people are raising families solo. Now hit with trying to feed their babies in a recession and raise decent human beings all alone, an array of new challenges are hitting single parents in complex ways. Sometimes doing this not by choice or unexpectedly, often on one income, unpartnered parents all over America are biting off more than they can chew between home ownership, kids sports, unexpected medical costs, and everything in-between...

Truth 3. Most parents don’t ask other parents for help.
Founder Heatherlee is seeking to change that. People are suffering in silence. Moms are superheroes, they really can do A LOT, and in ways society has tricked many into believing we really can have it all. Whether single or partnered up, parents don’t ask for help like they used to in the village days. Yes, we have platforms like GoFundMe for when houses burn down, the kids need surgeries or mom gets cancer, but what about the mom who just needs her village back?..
