Foundation/ Our Beginning

Amidst the 2020 global pandemic, UV was created by Denasia Alston-Walker to support families in children in need of support. Epitomizing the concept “it takes a village”, UV provided supplemental education support, social engagement, and resource navigation to the community acquaintances.

After realizing that the need was far greater than our reach we continue to build an alliance of individuals that have come alongside to expand beyond Mecklenburg County to now lending the network of support to the displaced children of Gaston County.
