Our shared values
Restoring Hope
We believe every person deserves hope, dignity, and the opportunity to move forward, regardless of disability, chronic illness, or financial hardship.
Empowering Independence
Our mission is to help people transform life’s greatest challenges into opportunities for greater independence through education, technology, and practical support.
AI Education
We help patients navigate complex medical conditions—especially endometriosis—by promoting education, organization, informed decision-making, and access to specialized care.
Community
We believe lives are changed when people encourage, educate, and support one another. Together, we can accomplish more than any individual alone.
Innovation with Purpose
We embrace technology not for its own sake, but as a tool to make education, healthcare navigation, and economic opportunity more accessible to everyone.
Stories from our community
Kind words from family and friends we have supported mentally, emotionally, physically, and financially throughout the years.
Whether it's of a medical, emotional, or a financial nature- Melanie has been the mentor and advocate for hundreds of people over the years. People are drawn to her, and she never lets them down. She is deserving of any support that comes her way.

Knowing Meliene and Will has been a real privilege and even though we have spent little time together, they are individuals I will remember for the rest of my life. Their kindness, generosity and compassion are such genuine and unforgettable traits that are rare to come across in life.

Mel and Wil are just the best, true friends in every way. It’s been such a beautiful thing to watch them take their own tough times and turn them into a way to lift up others. No matter what they’re dealing with, they always find the time to listen, cheer you on, and just be there. ModernAdvocates is pure love, and I’m just so incredibly grateful to have them both in my life.

I have known Mel and Will for nine years. No matter what they are going through they have been there for us and many of our friends. Knowledgeable. Compassionate. Generous with their time and energy. Supportive. Always thinking of a way to improve the lives of others!

If you're looking for someone who is knowledgeable, compassionate, trustworthy, and deeply committed to improving women's lives, I cannot recommend Melanie highly enough. She is more than an advocate, she is a voice for women who have spent far too long feeling unheard.

I’ve watched Mel and Wil turn some of life’s hardest challenges into something meaningful for others. Their determination to take their personal experiences and use them to help people facing similar struggles speaks to their compassion and resilience. I wish them every success with this mission.

The calm in the eye of the storm. That’s Mel and Will, they have managed to remain grounded during the fiercest storms life can throw at you. They are the blue skies that can only be found in the eye of the hurricane. The amazing part is that even in the mist of their own problems and challenges, they will step out of their world and support others.
