Working as a volunteer at my local hospital by offering emotional support has been a life-changing experience. I started my journey at North Cypress thinking that offering my “help” to cancer patients would be my way of giving back to the community and serve others that are just beginning their journey; however, I had no idea the blessings the Lord would put in front of me while I shared my story and reached out to give them hope. This is not a story of how I helped cancer patients; this is a story of how they helped me!!

Having the honor and privilege to freely help cancer patients in the hospital environment has made a difference in how I look at life.  I have entered rooms of patients with no hope after a diagnosis and had the opportunity to tell and show them there is always hope.  I have seen their eyes light up after explaining to them I am a 10-year survivor after the chemo, radiation, and surgeries. That hope and glimmer in their eyes are what makes it all worthwhile.
