Thirteen years ago today, Project Hope NY delivered our very first donation to the children in the pediatric unit at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. This milestone marks over a decade of bringing comfort, a journey that began from a deeply personal experience.
The creation of Project Hope NY was rooted in a challenging period in my life, witnessing firsthand the profound impact of small acts of kindness during my mother's extended hospitalization following a brain aneurysm in 2012. Her resilience and the compassion we received during that difficult time inspired the very foundation of Project Hope NY a year later. She passed away almost seven years ago, but her selfless spirit and boundless care continue to fuel my dedication to helping others – a mission I proudly carry forward in her memory.
We are incredibly fortunate to have crossed paths with countless generous, kindhearted individuals and formed lasting friendships over the years. Project Hope NY's achievements are a testament to their unwavering support, and for that, we are eternally grateful. This work, though demanding, is profoundly fulfilling; it is truly my heart's calling to serve our community.
Here's to the journey ahead and many more years of "Helping Hands, Helping Hearts."
