Elyse Stern, a young Women on Waves supporter

Elyse Mary Stern, died on March 30, 2012. She was only 28. The result of a motor vehicle/bicycle accident. Elyse was bright, beautiful, independent, free spirit. She lived her short life to the fullest everyday. She was a gardener, welder, knitter, musician and world traveler. She was always looking forward to her next great adventure. One of her many travels took her to Peru. It was there that she became aware of the need of local women for some form of birth control. It is for this reason that Women on Waves was chosen as a memorial for donations.
Women on Waves, is very grateful to her parents , Robin and Randy, and her friends for the donations in memory of Elyse. We wish them all the strengths and love on the world to cope with this great loss.
