Who We Are

Betty C - Repeat Donor and Cardinal Scholarship Founder

I had the privilege of meeting Leslie several years ago at a very difficult time in my life. My husband had passed, and I was downsizing after moving from our home of 30 years. I had so much furniture, dishes etc. to hopefully pass on to a needy family. Little did she know how much she helped me with dealing with my loss by being able to help others. 

​

I learned that Leslie is one of those RARE people that has it in her heart to truly help those in need in so many ways. She lives it from her heart every day. Giving and helping people in need is her passion. I have never met anyone like her with such dedication. I know firsthand that she helps with every aspect of what a person would need, if she can’t provide what is needed, she knows the resources that can. From baby supplies to the elderly, she provides, encourages, and listens to their needs. It doesn’t stop there; she will follow up with people to see how they are doing and if there is anything else that they need. She stays connected, encourages, shows them the positive things in life. They know they are important to her. Many of the people in turn have also helped by paying it forward in whatever way they could, showing how appreciative they are to receive help when they needed it. That is showing what an impact she has in their lives, inspiring others to do the same when and however they can. 

Her goals are not limited to just materialistic items, she has a strong desire to help with the educational goals be they adults or graduating/college kids through scholarships when meeting criteria. Many would have a more difficult time with tuition. Every little scholarship helps a student reach their goals; they are everyone’s future. 

​

I feel very confident in helping/donating to Community Helping Hands, Inc.. I know that anything, be it materialistic or financial, is going to go where it is needed. Leslie knows the needs within our community and is always there to do the best that she can do. She is dependent on donations. I feel honored to be able to help when I can and her transparency with donations is what encourages me to continue to give to Community Helping Hands, Inc.. I also have set-up an annual scholarship through her organization and participate with her scholarship committee to allocate these scholarships to the ideal recipients.

As I said before, I am privileged and blessed to know Leslie. She truly is one of a kind. Hopefully I will be able to continue to do my part to support this organization in any way possible, as I hope others will as well. 

Thank you just does not seem like enough for all that Leslie does.

She truly is one in a million.
