We all face times when we want to be a warrior, and then sometimes we struggle just to hang on.  We are not alone.  This is a shared phenomenon, and when we DO overcome and rise, we can lift a world in need.

We hope this modern-day “We Are The World” inspires others to know they matter, and each one and every one of us makes a difference.
