Review for You Can Thrive! Foundation, New York, NY, USA
I do not remember my first day working with You Can Thrive; the days blend together as a single, thematic experience — checking in clients and looking out at the waiting room, seeing people talking about the weather, their families, and what they've been up to on the weekends. Chit-chat wafting around the room interspersed with spurts of chuckles. An occasional sigh. The underlying pulse is clear — that this space is safe and loving. Many women, especially in underprivileged communities, suffer from cancer and do not have access to palliative care. You Can Thrive is exceptional. It's a treasure created and nurtured by so many hands and spirits. Although each day brings its own challenges, the animating force of You Can Thrive is the commitment of its community.

After meeting Luana and working at the wellness center, my reason for volunteering became supporting my friends work through tough times. Today, I live five hours away, going to school upstate. My reason for volunteering (albeit intermittently), is to support my You Can Thrive family, which grows bigger each time I return.
