One of the most meaningful parts of my time in South Africa happened with the help of ya’ll!!!! Walking through a grocery store beside the teachers who pour into children every single day. With y’all’s help we weee able to stock up on groceries for the school.

Before I left, so many of you chose to give through my fundraiser. Every donation, no matter the size, became groceries to feed all the students for several months.

People often ask what giving looks like. Sometimes it isn’t grand stages or big speeches. Sometimes it’s pushing a shopping cart together, hearing someone say, “I haven’t been able to buy this in a long time,” or watching the weight on their shoulders become just a little lighter.

I wish everyone could have witnessed those moments. Not because of what we gave, but because of what we were able to do together.

Your generosity reminded me that kindness travels farther than we ever will. It crossed oceans, filled grocery carts, and, most importantly, reminded people they were seen.

Thank you for trusting me to carry your hearts with me. This is exactly why I believe the Light On Initiative is only just beginning. 🤍
