💙 In Light of D’Angelo’s Passing

The recent passing of singer D’Angelo, who courageously battled pancreatic cancer, is a powerful reminder that early detection saves lives.

Although Prostate Cancer Awareness Month is in September, this is a year-round commitment to spreading awareness, encouraging screenings, and saving lives.

Blessed by Brandi, Inc. Board Members had the pleasure of connecting with Nancy from the New Jersey Cancer Education and Early Detection (NJCEED) Program, which offers free and low-cost cancer screenings — including prostate cancer screenings — across New Jersey.

Men — get screened.
Your health matters. Your life matters.

Fees are based on the ability to pay, and no one is ever refused service.
For more information on free screening services, contact your nearest NJCEED Screening Location or call 1-800-328-3838 (press 3).

✨ Year 5 was a success because of YOU! ✨

This year, we were honored to celebrate and bless three phenomenal caregivers with the John B. McAlister, Sr. Perseverance Award:

💜 Sunnie Allen-Henderson – who moved back into her childhood home to care full-time for her bed-bound mother.

💜 Tasha Thomas-Mitchell – who drives 1.5 hours after work to care for her mother and sister with unwavering devotion.

💜 Shari Alleyne – who has cared for her mother for over 20 years and most recently became caregiver to her brother.

Their stories remind us that caregiving is not only a responsibility—it’s an act of love, strength, and sacrifice. 💪🏽💖

Thank you to everyone who supported Year 5. The impact doesn’t stop here—together, we will continue being a blessing to others. 🌟

Meet Caregiver Recipient of the John B. McAlister, Sr. Perseverance Award: Shari Alleyne 💜

Life-Changing Moment: After her father’s passing in September 2000, Shari relocated back to her childhood home to become her mother Pauline’s companion. Over the years, her mother faced a series of health challenges—including a stroke, colon cancer, hip replacement surgery, and now arthritis—which slowly robbed her of independence and mobility.

Caregiving Journey: For more than 20 years, Shari has been her mother’s primary caretaker and companion. She cooks, cleans, washes her hair, gives manicures and pedicures, manages appointments, and transports her to doctors, therapy, and community outings like Carnegie Hall, the beach, spa visits, and Broadway shows. Most recently, she also became caregiver to her brother, who was diagnosed with Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus, taking on the role of his health care advocate.

Family & Faith: Shari retired from full-time employment during COVID to protect her mother’s health, fully stepping into her caregiving role. She passionately believes that “blessings lie under the feet of her Mother,” and lives out her reverence through love, kindness, humility, and selfless service—always remembering her mother’s sacrifices and unconditional love for the family.

Gratitude & Honor: Shari is honored to be recognized by her “Tribe” and Blessed by Brandi, Inc. She shares that caregivers often do the work in silence, not wanting to burden others with their journey, and is grateful this award acknowledges an often overlooked group of amazing individuals.

✨ Join us in celebrating Shari at Sip & Savor: A Toast to Impact this Sunday!
