E&V2S is a faith-based nonprofit organization founded by myself Donyell Patrick. A Michigan native, now residing in Texas.

I created E&V2S after seasons of grief, transition, and trying to push through depression while raising my son and starting over. Despite having family, I often felt alone and discouraged and wished for a safe space to just breath, talk and feel seen. I remember thinking, “if I just had someone to share this idea with” “if I just had someone to get out of the house with” and “If I just had someone to remind and encourage me to complete the task that I set out to do, but procrastinated because of being stressed and overwhelmed”

Traditional therapy was a bit more than I needed at the time. So I built what I needed, and what I know that God desires us all to have.

A simple mission to offer women a calm space for encouragement, connection and real peer support. Through small pop-up experiences and faith-rooted care, I want every woman who shows up to leave feeling lighter and more hopeful, and ready to take her next step.
