Andrea's Wish Foundation
On World Maternal Mental Health Day, May 1, 2024, the Andrea’s Wish Foundation Fund was established at the Baltimore Community Foundation.
The foundation is dedicated to honoring the life and enduring legacy of Andrea Kolbe. Through her story, it works to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and expand access to care for those facing postpartum depression and maternal mental health challenges. With compassion, education, and advocacy, the foundation strives to create meaningful change—bringing hope and support to mothers and families when it is needed most.
Its mission is to transform loss into purpose by funding scientific research, educating communities, and advocating for stronger public policies in maternal mental health. At its core is a commitment to ensuring that no mother feels alone in her struggle.
The Andrea’s Wish Foundation Fund is made possible through the generosity of family, friends, and supporters who believe in this cause. Their contributions help support organizations and initiatives that are making a lasting difference in the lives of mothers and families.
Andrea’s legacy lives on—in every life touched, every conversation started, and every step forward toward better maternal mental health care. She is remembered for her kindness, her love, and the profound impact she continues to have on so many.
