This is a beautiful and moving story. While I didn't grow up in the same circumstances, we have some things key things in common about growing up with scarcity (for me it was watching my mom try to stretch food stamps to last a month and going through lost and found bins for my school clothes) and treasuring the opportunity now to make a difference for others. If we were all empowered to live out our purpose, ideally a reality better than what we've experienced, the world would be a much better place :)
thank you for letting me know that vignette into your story, Julie! And I could not agree more re: your last sentiment. That's truly my hope, to help more of us tap into our purpose as a fuel for creating the change we want and must create.
