About Us
Flow of Care Foundation was founded by someone who sat in the infusion waiting room, searched every resource, and made a promise to the person she loved most.
When founder Sabrina Poulsen learned in October 2025 that her mother Vee's cancer had recurred, she threw herself into research — determined to find ways to make Vee's infusion days more comfortable and her care experience more manageable.
What she found surprised her: the resources were there. Comfort items, support programs, and information that could genuinely improve a patient's experience all existed. But they were largely unknown — even within oncology centers — and many were financially inaccessible to average patients.
Sabrina began planning a nonprofit that she and her mother would build together while Vee underwent treatment. Vee passed away on January 6, 2026. In the weeks that followed, Sabrina made the decision to move forward — not despite losing her mother, but because of her.
Flow of Care Foundation was registered in February 2026. Its 501(c)(3) application was submitted shortly thereafter. We are building the organization we wished had existed for Vee.
Read about Vee →"Flow of Care Foundation exists to ensure that no chronically ill patient or caregiver faces their journey alone — providing comfort, resources, education, and community support to every patient and caregiver, regardless of financial means."
"A future where no patient navigates their journey without support, and no caregiver carries the burden alone."
Financial means should never determine who receives support. We are committed to removing cost as a barrier for every patient and caregiver we serve.
Our leadership and programs are informed by people who have navigated chronic illness firsthand. This is not incidental — it is foundational.
Patients deserve more than survival. They deserve comfort, community, and care that honors the full weight of their experience.
We operate with honesty and accountability to the communities we serve. Every dollar is tracked, every decision is purposeful.
We meet patients and caregivers where they are, without judgment. Our organization was built on love, and love guides every interaction.
No one should face illness alone. We build networks of support — between patients, between caregivers, and between our organization and the people we serve.
Sabrina's professional background spans technology, cloud infrastructure, security, and operations — including roles in PKI/SSL validation at GoDaddy, AWS security services, and operations management over cloud support engineering teams spanning Linux, Security, and Analytics domains. She holds a notary license and brings a systems-oriented, mission-driven approach to nonprofit leadership.
Sabrina lives with hEDS (hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome), MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome), inflammatory arthritis, and adrenal insufficiency. She lost her father to colon cancer and her mother Vee to endometrial cancer on January 6, 2026. Flow of Care Foundation is her commitment to ensuring that other patients and caregivers receive the support she wished had been more accessible to her family.
This role encompasses social media, content strategy, donor communications, brand management, and community outreach. Our candidate lives with chronic illness, bringing additional lived experience to the Foundation's voice and communications.
