A Legacy Rooted in Courage, Compassion, and Community

Daisy Wong was more than a selfless entrepreneur, she was a trailblazer, a community mother, a renowned poet and a quiet revolutionary.

Her legacy begins in the heart of Anguilla, where she played a vital role in one of the island’s most defining moments: the Anguilla Revolution of 1967. As the people rose to reclaim their future, Daisy stood among them with courage and conviction, contributing her time, resources, and voice to help deliver Anguilla from the administrative control of St. Kitts and Nevis. Her involvement in this pivotal movement laid the foundation for a lifetime of service to her people.

Daisy’s revolutionary spirit carried over into every area of her life. She was a creative and resilient entrepreneur, selling peppermint candies and lottery tickets with bold, unconventional tactics. She also sewed school uniforms not just as a business, but as a mission, ensuring that children had what they needed to attend school with dignity.

But Daisy’s greatest impact came not from what she sold, but from how she gave. She became a cornerstone of her community, using her own means to pay school fees for children in need, provide meals, and care for those often overlooked. Her home was a haven for the neighborhood children, her hands were always open, and her love knew no boundaries.

The Daisy Wong Family Foundation exists to carry forward this remarkable legacy. Rooted in her values of courage, service, and empowerment, the foundation supports children’s education, women in entrepreneurship, and grassroots community development in Anguilla and beyond.

Daisy didn’t wait for the world to change. She changed it quietly, powerfully, and with love that transcended human comprehension.
