"I met Michelle in 1994 when my nephew, David, age 24, was diagnosed with leukemia. My family was devastated when we heard the diagnosis. David was unable to work and had no health insurance. Michelle came to our aid by helping my family plan a bowl-a-thon to raise money for David's day to day needs. Michelle met with my family weekly to help us organize what turned out to be a very successful fundraiser. It was not just the money that helped our family and David at the time; it was knowing someone like Michelle who was willing to lend a helping hand when our world was turned upside down. Michelle is a constant source of inspiration. Her resources are endless. If she doesn't know how to help you, she knows someone who does. Michelle is someone who gives unselfishly every day toward the good of others. She is an energetic volunteer and not just a spectator."

"Finding inspiration that supports and helps others who are in need is one of the abilities that we, as individuals, have the opportunity and the privilege to share in. Coming together in a common goal is a Living Law and is supported universally. Lend a Helping Hand is fast becoming a leader in the field of not only helping those in need, but is also teaching foundation designed to help others learn the skills of promoting and funding events to help others."

I have known Michelle for over 20 years and she has always reached out to her community to help anyone in need (furry ones too). She has so much creative energy and experience with large project work and chooses to direct her passion and skills to help others. Lend a Helping Hand is Michelle's unique vision of helping people to help themselves, or their loved ones, in time of great need.
