Our first annual gift card drive & warrior family fund was a success! This week we got to deliver the gift cards and pass on the money to be given to our warrior family 🤍

This whole experience has been life giving, my heart can’t even express to you how much it meant to be able to give back in this way. I left the hospital post drop off feeling overwhelmed with gratitude, there was a time when I didn’t think I would ever be able to be here today and do this. But here we are. There’s healing, and there’s purpose, and it shines through in little glimpses.

Our hearts are with the families at Akron Children’s Hospital whose Christmas may look a little different this year. We are holding you close and reminding you, that you are not alone.

Thank you to the village, YOU, for loving on glimpses this holiday season. We can’t wait for what’s to come. ☀️🫶🏼🌊🌸✨🤍🌙🌷

We knew we wanted to give back.. but we weren’t sure what that could mean just yet.. I mean after all, when the idea came to mind, we were a little busy in the deep waters of treatment. there was an endless world of possibilities but all of those seemed so far away at the time. There was one idea that seemed too good to be true, but one we kept our hearts & ideas open to.. and now we’re here.. 🤍

When I was diagnosed with T-Cell ALL, there were so many different foundations who supported & that spoke volume. But when I counted how many of them were directed towards teenagers, there were very few. As a teenager walking through cancer, I felt very alone, I knew people were supporting me, but no one knew what I was going through. I had just been stripped of all my freedoms, I had lost a lot of my confidence, & everything I had ever known was sucked up in a tornado of big fancy (scary) words.

Something I have learned is that teenagers strive for connection, relation, and friendship. At the time of diagnosis, I had that, but some aspects of it would never be the same. It became hard to connect with my friends.. They didn’t understand my problems like they usually could, they couldn't relate because they have never had an experience like this one. And that wasn’t their fault, it wasn’t mine either. I had to face the fact that no one I had turned to would truly understand.

Until I started doing some digging, and very slowly I found teenagers all over the world who knew exactly what I was going through. That is when I knew I wanted a place for teenagers to connect with others who knew what each other was going through. I wanted to be that safe space for them. I wanted these teens to form the connections they needed to get through it, & hopefully also find their best friends, like I did.

Pictured is my bestie girl Katey, she and I met over Instagram about two years ago!🤍🥹 we had the same cancer & now we’re both out of treatment living our best lives, even if we’re a few states away from each other!

Hi everybody, I’m so excited you’re here. I wanted to start by saying thank you for all the support this weekend but also for the last three years, I am forever grateful for each and every one of you.

Welcome to Glimpses Of Grace!

After going through a cancer diagnosis, I knew in my heart I wanted to give back, I just needed to be healthy first. I received so much love & support during my journey and all I wanted was to reciprocate that joyful energy back to others.

I named this Glimpses Of Grace because my middle name is Grace but when I think of that word, I think of joy & light.. I think everyone has their own meaning for it & it’s always something so beautiful. Glimpses I got from a glass half full. During my journey, we always looked for those moments, those glimpses. The things that were full of light & happiness, big or small. They really just kept us going. When I put glimpses with grace, I knew it could tell a story in itself, that’s what I love about it. I think it describes us as a foundation and what we stand for.

In these next few weeks, we will be walking you through why I started this and what the foundation will look like as a whole! Thank you for being here, I am so excited to have you, & can’t wait to see where this goes!🫶🏼🌙🌸🌊🤍✨
