“Thank you so much for delivering this wonderful news. It made me cry, in a good way; that there are people like you and places like the SEARCH Foundation in the world! This past year brought some of the most difficult health challenges I’ve ever faced. Navigating recovery while trying to keep life and business afloat felt overwhelming—mentally, emotionally, and financially. When I received a grant from the SEARCH Foundation, it felt like a lifeline had been thrown my way. It wasn’t just about the money, though the financial help was deeply needed and incredibly appreciated. It was about feeling seen, supported, and not so alone in the struggle. The stress that was building daily—the kind that keeps you up at night—suddenly had a release valve. That act of generosity gave me the space to breathe, to heal, and to begin rebuilding without the crushing weight of worry. I’m endlessly grateful to the SEARCH Foundation for the compassion, dignity, and hope they provide to people like me when life takes an unexpected turn. Their support helped me find stability, regain my footing, and reminded me that even in hard seasons, community can carry us through.” 💜 #SEARCHfoundation #EventProfs #MeetingsProfs #CrisisRelief #GiveBack #CateringProfs #EventPlanner #MeetingPlanner (fb)
