Where it started
January 2025 · Suffolk, Virginia
Our first annual conference filled a ballroom — caregivers from Hertford County alongside clergy, health professionals, a sitting judge, and community leaders. More than 100 people came together; 78 in the room and others reached offline.
Across six areas of expertise we shared knowledge, listened to heartfelt stories, and answered pressing questions. For many, it became more than a conference — a much-needed day of respite.

A day of connection
“It was a beautiful day of empowerment, connection, and inspiration for people who came hungry to learn.”
In their words
It’s not what we think that matters, but what people are saying
I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I gathered a lot of important information that I can use to move forward in my life.
I wanted to tell you how blessed I was today. We gotta talk about the harsh stuff — everybody in that room benefited today.
Thank you for the work you're doing.
