Hello!
I hope you're having an amazing day! I am beyond thrilled that you're interested in joining us for this incredible packing event!
In 2022, I launched From Pain to Promise, a 501(c)(3) organization with a simple yet powerful mission: to make a difference in the lives of those who need it the most. Since then, we've partnered with countless amazing companies and organizations to pack and deliver over 20,000 bags to unhoused individuals, women, and children facing hardships. Every step of this journey has been nothing short of rewarding, and it has ignited a fire within me to reach even deeper into our community and create lasting change.
Our events are full of energy, heart, and purpose—we come together as a community to lift each other up and tackle the most pressing needs around us. But what makes these events truly special is not just the bags we pack, but the sense of hope and unity that fills the room. We get to share the real stories of our community’s struggles, but more importantly, we get to show how we—together—can be the solution. With our Hearts and Hands, we can fill those gaps, make a real impact, and change lives—one pack at a time!
I am so excited to partner with you and take this work to new heights. Together, let’s create a wave of change, a movement of kindness, and a future filled with possibility. The power of community is unstoppable—let’s make a difference like never before!
I truly can not wait to join forces and start this incredible journey together!
