Today marks one week since we celebrated the life of our late board member, devoted volunteer and beloved friend Sandy Neja.

On her first heavenly birthday, friends, family and other loved ones gathered to share memories, look at old photos and honor the love and light that was Sandy as she was laid to rest.

The imprint she left on our organization is impossible to summarize, and we feel the weight of her loss every day. Her commitment to our cause was inspiring, and we promise to ensure the positive impact of her hard work continues.

If you knew Sandy, please feel free to share a favorite memory below.
