Vera's journey began in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, where she witnessed her mother's extraordinary gift for healing. From childhood, she watched people from across counties seek her mother's care for severe foot wounds, ulcers, and even gangrene. Her mother's special handmade soap and herbal remedies brought hope to those whom doctors had given up on.

When Vera was just 17 years old, her mother suffered a stroke, and she stepped into the role of caregiver, treating open wounds and ulcers seven days a week with her mother's special soap. The stream of people seeking help never stopped. After marrying at 27 and raising children, Vera set aside this calling for many years.

At 65, while volunteering at nursing homes through her church ministry, Vera encountered countless seniors with bandaged wounds and ulcers, many facing amputation. Witnessing their suffering rekindled her passion for healing. She remembered her mother's wisdom: "Just because it's black on the outside doesn't mean it's dead—underneath the black skin is pink, living tissue."

Drawing from her mother's original formula and collaborating with herbalists and wound care specialists from around the world, Vera co-created the first batch of Zoretol Medicated Soap. Within three weeks, families were calling with reports of remarkable progress and healing.
