Our Supporters

Thank you for your encouragement, both materially and in spirit.

Our gratitude to these special donors

Dr. Berner’s mother inspired her to start Fenix ten years ago. Sheila Berner’s many friends and family honored her with support to Fenix to continue her legacy of social justice. These are the special donors who contributed to Fenix in her name.
