our mission

Our mission is to support, inspire, and educate Women Veterans, Spouses, and Caregivers of Wounded Veterans by offering a day of respite and retreat dedicated to their personal holistic wellness.

ABOUT US

The One Life to Live Foundation (OLTLF) Corp. is a nonprofit organization with 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status. Founded in 2019 by Daphnee Uter, a Woman Veteran, and supported by her friends Pamela Black, Arie Lewis, and Yolanda Brown, OLTLF was created to address the unique needs of underserved Women Veterans and caregivers. Daphnee recognized that many caregivers, especially women, often neglect their own well-being while caring for others. With a deep understanding of the challenges faced by Veterans and female caregivers, she decided to establish a foundation focused on providing support and fostering positive change. OLTLF offers respite and retreat opportunities to help caregivers and Women Veterans focus on their personal needs, learn about self-care, and gain a deeper understanding of how to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Our mission is to raise awareness of Women Veterans and support all women caregivers, as well as spouses of Wounded Warriors, throughout Florida.​
