Pain 2 Purpose
“This is my mother’s organization.”
Pain 2 Purpose was born from a moment of clarity — the realization that heartbreak can be transformed into healing. Founded by survivor and advocate Shanda Roberts, the organization lifts up women affected by domestic violence and empowers teens to recognize healthy relationships early. Through encouragement, connection, and unwavering belief in each person’s worth, Pain 2 Purpose helps survivors in shelters rediscover hope and build lives grounded in safety, dignity, and purpose.
