UpWell Foundation is non-profit organization created by Maya Brennan, a young lady who saw challenges in her own community and abroad, heard people’s stories and wanted to put her compassion to work.  She saw that not everyone who was struggling was destitute.  Life’s difficulties vary inasmuch as there are people.  We believe that everyone deserves joy, and bringing even a  sliver of consideration to those that need it goes a long way.

In 2015 Maya took a trip to Baler, Phillipines.  Here, she experienced communities struggling together, some more some less, but nonetheless wanting to enjoy life.  This recognition that there is more to life, more to enjoy other than our circumstances, is what ignited a passion to bring joy to others, not just necessities.
