Founder & President
As a mother with lived experience, I understand the challenges, setbacks, and regrets that can come from difficult seasons in life. Looking back, I regret many of the moments I missed with my daughter, and those experiences became the inspiration behind Mommy Haven. After working hard to rebuild my life, I felt called to give back to my community and help other women avoid some of the mistakes I made. My goal is not to judge, but to support, encourage, and walk alongside mothers as they work toward healing, growth, and stronger relationships with their children and families. I believe that with the right support, resources, and opportunities, every woman has the ability to create a brighter future. Through Mommy Haven, I am committed to helping women find hope, strength, and the confidence to keep moving forward.

Savanna.patacsil@mommyhaven.org
Savanna Patacsil is a board member of Mommy Haven whose passion for helping women and families is deeply rooted in her own life experiences. As someone in recovery who grew up with parents affected by addiction, experienced a difficult childhood, and faced mental health challenges from an early age, Savanna understands how important it is for people to feel supported, understood, and given the opportunity to build a different future. Her experiences have shaped her commitment to breaking cycles, advocating for women and children, and helping create a community where people are met with compassion rather than judgment. Through her work in community outreach, fundraising, and advocacy, Savanna hopes to help Mommy Haven provide meaningful resources, safe and supportive environments, and opportunities for women to heal, grow, and rebuild their lives. She believes that a person's past does not define their potential and that everyone deserves the opportunity to find hope, discover their strength, and create a better future for themselves and their children.
Board Secretary
Alexandra.green@mommyhaven.org
As a mother, I know firsthand how hard life can get when you're trying to rebuild, heal, and still show up for your children every single day. Mommy Haven is personal to me because I understand what it feels like to need support, guidance, and a safe community without judgment. My own experiences have given me the passion to fight for mothers who may feel overlooked, struggling, or alone. I'm a part of Mommy Haven because I truly believe every mother deserves support, second chances, and the opportunity to create a better future for herself and her children.

I've survived addiction, domestic abuse, depression, and repeated incarceration, and having a safe place to connect with women who understand my journey has become a vital part of my healing.
