MY STORY
I built Hands to Hearts International from my kitchen table — possessed by the mission, running programs across nine countries for over a decade.
After launching our first project in India, our partner was jailed. Children were scattered. Years of work unraveled overnight.
With everything broken, a friend asked me one question:
“What are you committed to?”
Not the plan.
Not the structure.
The mission.
That moment changed how I lead.
“No babies have died since HHI’s training.”
Scaling doesn’t fail because founders lack vision. It fails because systems lag behind growth.
I’ve scaled across nine countries, managed $175M+, and rebuilt when infrastructure collapsed.
