“As CEO of The Orange Butterfly Foundation, I see firsthand the impact Butterfly Hour has on this community. The most important thing to me is making people happy and providing that feeling of belonging and purpose back into people’s lives. On a personal note, this grant has given me the opportunity to work and maintain a salary for the first time since my own accident, which is incredibly life changing for me. I’m truly grateful that people believe in my vision.”
