QDF | Bestie Tribe began with a simple phrase that carried great meaning: “Have a Quality Day.” Our original name Quality Day Foundation (QDF) was inspired by my late father-in-law, who always encouraged people with those words. We first set out to bring quality resources to those who needed them most. Over time, our name evolved into QDF | Bestie Tribe - a community, a family, a tribe of men and women dedicated to standing with survivors of domestic violence.
Our journey started in 2018, after I discovered that my bestie was in a domestic violence situation. When I began calling around for resources in the DFW area, I quickly realized how limited and difficult they were to find. That struggle sparked a fire in me. I knew survivors deserved more, so I jumped in headfirst to create something that would fill the gap.
But the work started even before the nonprofit. While living in Kansas City, I found myself helping survivors in any way I could. After moving to Texas, I noticed that although there were many domestic violence organizations, resources were still hard to access. That’s when QDF | Bestie Tribe was born.
Seven years later, we’re still here - standing strong, providing support, and building safe spaces for survivors. Our mission is simple: to show up for survivors by any means necessary. We believe in community, healing, and the power of knowing you’re not alone.
At QDF | Bestie Tribe, we’re more than a nonprofit- we’re a tribe, and once your part of it, you’ll always have a Bestie in your corner.
