What an uplifting read! Rebecca was so brave to "trust her cape" and found a nonprofit that continues to flourish in Austin, TX. I found her very relatable and honest. Quick read. Congratulation Rebecca!

In full transparency I know the author personally. That said, she shares a very honest and candid insiders view into how she started, grew and moved on from an extremely successful philanthropic venture. It gives a lot of hope and empowerment to anyone who wants to make that idea a reality.
