We Rise By Lifting Each Other
Host Michelle Beck, will be searching out and speaking with those who give back and provide opportunities or goods to those in need . . . just because. Helping others fills your soul. Everyone benefits when goodness is shared. There will be times in life when you give less and need more. If you help someone, they may help someone else and the circle keeps going. Whether it be the sharing of information, time, or physical things, the giver will be richer for it.
