ABOUT US

OUR STORY

The ReNille Foundation, a nonprofit organization created to assist seniors, was initiated on September 9, 2025 by Founder and Executive Director LaKeshia Holloway in an effort to continue the compassionate work of her sister, Tywana ReNille Fountain. Tywana, who passed away on February 6, 2025, spent her adult life caring for seniors as a licensed practical nurse. She would always say “I want seniors to know that they are not forgotten and that at least one person in the world cares about them and their well-being.” The ReNille Foundation was founded on that same philosophy to continue Tywana’s compassionate journey through programs that assist seniors with everyday living expenses such as utilities, medicine, housing, entertainment, etc. We are dedicated to doing our part in ensuring that seniors can enjoy a better quality of life.

The purpose of The ReNille Foundation is to care for seniors with compassion and respect, to recognize their needs, and to provide assistance that promotes their well-being. The ReNille Foundation is committed to ensuring that seniors can maintain their dignity, access essential care, and enjoy a higher quality of life.

Our mission is to help eligible seniors maintain a high quality of life by providing financial assistance through organizational programs funded by community donations and state and federal grants.
