How does something like that happen?

The foundation of our work started with a simple prayer on a rainy day while I was on my lunch break. I asked God to send the people my way that would help make this what it needs to be.

Our mission is to transform how families support a healthier way for a better life. Together we will accomplish this in many different ways.
