It Started With My Mom — A Mother Who Refused to Stay Stuck
This didn't start with Donna.It started with a mom who refused to stay stuck.
Donna Krech was raised by her mom — a woman widowed at 27 years old with three children under the age of five, no job, no money, and overwhelming odds.
She had every reason to give up. She didn't. Instead, she built a life. Then a business. And while doing both — simultaneously — a future her children could stand on.
Donna grew up watching that. And then she lived it herself — starting with nothing, even facing moments where she didn't have money to feed her own child. Out of that fire, she built multiple successful companies.
"The real story isn't about what I built. It's about what my mom overcame — and taught me to overcome."
— Donna Krech
From her grandmother to her mom, Donna inherited faith and perseverance. From her mom, she also inherited something her grandmother never had the means to give: possibilities.
Now, that same fight has a name: Hope Weighs In — a movement built to help other single moms do exactly what her mom did. Rebuild. Rise. Refuse to stay stuck.
