Our Founder
A Promise Kept.
A Legacy Honored.
“After losing my daughter to domestic violence, I made a promise to turn my pain into purpose. I established the Dutchess Dior Foundation to support survivors, protect youth, and ensure that children who lose a parent receive the care and resources they deserve.”
— Jacqueline Rucker, CEO & Founder
Jacqueline Rucker is a leader grounded in integrity, compassion, and unwavering determination. Armed with a degree in Business Management and a heart forged through personal tragedy, she built this foundation not as a career, but as a calling. Her daughter's two children inspire her every day to fight for families who need stability, love, and support during unimaginable moments.
