Guided by the fact that every life has equal value, Women Walking West (W3), a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, strives to help women lead a successful and productive life. When women come to the US to pursue their educational dream, they are at a greater disadvantage than foreign-born men, especially women coming from underdeveloped countries. W3’s philosophy is simple: we want foreign-born women to have access to the necessary opportunities needed to succeed in school and life.

The Live Like Maya Foundation is committed to funding pediatric cancer research, providing financial assistance to families of children battling cancer and continuing Maya’s legacy of fostering kindness and goodwill within the community.

Some of the organizations that we support include The Ronald McDonald House of Greater Cincinnati, the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and Cincinnati Children’s Hospital.

In the spirit of Maya’s Pay it Forward Movement, the foundation also provides support to several local community initiatives such as the local school system, Angel Alley and college scholarships to students in the community who have displayed exemplary life skills such as community service, overcoming obstacles, leadership activities, and family commitment to name a few.
