The Leadership Board
In 2023, depression and anxiety started to creep into Rhonda’s life. She felt like no one cared and was questioning why she should keep going to her cancer treatments.
But that all changed because of leaders like you.
You see, the funds our Leadership Board raised helped us hire the compassionate staff who saw Rhonda crying in the hallway at her hospital. It helped purchase an extra meal from our restaurant partner, so that we could give it to someone who really needed it. It allowed us to dedicated our time to calling Rhonda each week so that she knew she was not alone. It allowed us to give her a Thanksgiving feast to share with family.
“I’ve never experienced such nurturing in my entire life. You’re the reason I’m still standing here today.”
We all have the same 24 hours in our day. Will you choose to use yours to help more patients like Rhonda?
As we grow nationally, Leadership Board members are the driving force locally in their communities.
This is your chance to be part of something bigger. To help build the next decade of our impact.
Putting compassion into action.
