We can make a better world if we work together. By combining volunteers and funding we can show we care. This has always been important but is more evident when funding is scarce.

Laura Newman has a vivid memory from her childhood.

“My mom made us stand on a popcorn bucket, because we were still little. She held her hand on our throats and had us say our names so she could feel the vibrations. Then she held her hand on her own throat and felt the vibrations as she said our names.”
