From Darryl’s moving story and the sweet presence of his daughter, Bella, to the courageous testimonies of current clients, the afternoon was filled with hope.

 

We’re especially grateful to three remarkable women who helped shape this year’s luncheon. Barbara Green, our Honorary Hearts of Hope Chair, continues to lead with unwavering kindness and strength. Amanda Taylor brought grace and heart to the event as emcee. And it was a joy to surprise and honor Peggy Kates with the Servant’s Heart Award. Each of these women embodies the compassion and leadership that moves our mission forward.

This luncheon was more than an event—it was a reminder that healing happens when a community shows up with open arms. And you showed up.
