Founder & Executive Director, Mama's Couch Foundation Inc.
Hello, I'm Tiffany, Founder & Executive Director of Mama's Couch Foundation Inc.
I founded Mama's Couch Foundation in loving memory of my sister Ernestine Jackson.
Ernestine had a remarkable gift for making people feel welcomed, valued, and heard. She was the person family, friends, and neighbors naturally turned to during life's happiest moments and its greatest challenges. Whether someone needed encouragement, wisdom, or simply a listening ear, Ernestine created a space where people felt safe to share their hearts.
Her compassion, generosity, and unwavering love inspired the vision for Mama's Couch Foundation.
Today, the Foundation carries forward her legacy by creating safe spaces where conversations begin and healing grows. Through education, support, community outreach, and connections to resources, we strive to strengthen individuals, families, and communities throughout the Alabama–Georgia Tri-City area.
Every program, every partnership, and every life we touch is a tribute to Ernestine's belief that one caring conversation can make a lasting difference.
Her legacy lives on through every conversation, every act of kindness, and every life changed.
Our Mission
Mama's Couch Foundation exists to create safe spaces where individuals and families can engage in meaningful conversations, access educational resources, receive compassionate community support, and build stronger, healthier lives.
Our Vision
To become a trusted community organization that empowers individuals, strengthens families, and inspires hope through education, collaboration, and compassionate service.
