About Help Her Fly
Stacey is the founder of Help Her Fly, a program created to help young girls build confidence, recognize their potential and pursue their dreams.
Her work with girls began at university, when she ran a girls’ summer program with The Big Sister Association and became a Big Sister herself. That experience sparked a lasting commitment to helping girls grow in confidence and see what’s possible for themselves.
Alongside her work with Help Her Fly, Stacey continues to work as a registered nurse, drawing on more than 20 years of experience working with diverse populations and gaining firsthand insight into the challenges facing women and girls.
The loss of her younger cousin Casey became a deeply personal catalyst for her—to help create a future where girls know their worth, believe in themselves and have the support to pursue their dreams.
That vision became Help Her Fly, a program that provides girls with mentorship, education and meaningful support, grounded in the belief that lasting change for women begins with empowering girls.
We believe all women can embrace who they are,
can define their future, and can change the world.
CASEY STEVENS
When Casey was little, she looked like a real life Cabbage Patch doll- with blonde hair, bright blue eyes and dimples. She was adorable and adored.
Casey had a great sense of humour and a contagious laugh. She loved to joke and watch comedians to get those laughs. Reading and cats were her favourites- which was evident from her personal mini library and several fur babies.
She was a gentle, kind soul who lived by the motto do no harm. Casey believed in people being treated equally, without discrimination and with kindness.
After a tragic bus accident that left doctors saying she wouldn't survive, Casey became my hero. She was in the ICU for 1 month before being transferred for rehabilitation in London. After 5 months of intense rehab- learning to talk, walk, read, do math, cook (which she loved to do), etc., she came home! What Casey overcame and achieved was a miracle!
She inspired many and was an astounding example of the power of spirit, determination, and will.
Being a mother to beautiful Kali was Casey's greatest pride and joy. Kali has become a beautiful young woman, who carries the resemblance to her mother.
These bursaries are a living legacy of Casey's kind and generous spirit.
