We Love to Support ❤️

I’ve reworded, retyped, and reconstructed this post more times than I can count because sometimes words just aren’t enough.

Before the press, before the community support, before the volunteers, there was someone who believed in Beyond the Diagnosis Foundation, Inc. and in me. That person is my mentor, Dr. Courtney Keener, CEO of CGK Foundation.

Dr. Keener has stood by me through the ups, the doubts, and the growth of this mission. Her guidance, encouragement, and generosity have been a light during the hardest moments. Today, I want to publicly thank her not only for being a mentor but also for her generous donation to support our work.

Because of people like Dr. Keener, single mothers raising children with disabilities will continue to have hope, resources, and a community that sees them and stands beside them.

From the bottom of my heart — thank you, Dr. Keener and Dr. CGK Foundation, Inc. ✨💛 If you are in the Greater Houston area, be sure to give them a follow! Volunteer opportunities are also available at the NRG stadium!
